Wreath Laying Ceremony
At the May 8 Jefferson County Wreath Laying Ceremony, the names of five fallen officers were unveiled on the Jefferson County Law Enforcement Memorial. Those memorialized were Officer Roy Mangum, Sr.; Sgt. Wytasha Carter; Officer Nicholas O’Rear; Sgt. Parnell Guyton; and Officer Randall Smith.
At the ceremony’s conclusion, Blue Watch had the honor to help provide lunch for the families of the fallen. A special thanks goes to Jim Henderson, retired Birmingham Police Department. Much of what happens each year is a direct result of his sacrifice.
Winning A Gunfight
Anytime there is an officer-involved shooting, Blue Watch sends copies of “Winning A Gunfight” to the agency. “Winning A Gunfight,” written by retired San Antonio Police Department sergeant and now ordained pastor Tim Rupp, addresses the emotional and spiritual aspects of gunfights. This is a must read for any officer that has ever been in an officer-involved shooting.
In May, six copies were sent to Dothan Police Department after an officer was shot and the suspect killed when the suspect pulled a gun on officers. Another 10 copies were delivered to the Birmingham Police Department after a May 16 incident when two officers were shot and two others were grazed by bullets while executing a search warrant for the suspect in a double homicide.
If you, or someone you know, has been involved in a gun battle and would like a copy of this book, we will send you one at no charge. Email us at info@bluewatchfoundation.org.
What’s Next?
Mark your calendar for October 5. This will be our fall leadership event, “Don’t Restart… Reset and Reignite, Strategies to Build a Better Career and Personal Life,” at the Pelham Civic Center.
More details will be released in the July newsletter. Registration will open in August.
