The State of Ohio is fifth in the Nation for number of Officers lost in the line of duty. Unfortunately, the future only holds more additions and updates to the Ohio Fallen Officers web site. It is our hope that the senseless murders and crimes against our nation's bravest men and women will one day come to an end. Until then, we will do everything we can in order to remember and honor all of the law enforcement officers in the State of Ohio who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Society MUST allow people to grieve without setting time limits. Don't tell someone who has had a loss that it is "time to move on". Don't tell anyone who has had a loss to "get over it". Instead, advise them to embrace their grief - to ride with it - to go with the flow of it - to feel the feelings completely. No one can go through their grief for them - they have to go it alone. Family and friends can be of support (if they are lucky) but they cannot do it for these survivors. These survivors will not be the same person when the process is over. They will need to move through grief at their own pace. Too often, well-meaning individuals who say and do the wrong things because they are uninformed about the bereavement process will complicate the Survivor's struggle. >>more info<<
