I worked with Tom of 2302 EPW when his partner was off. Better police officer could ever be found. He tag hit a young rookie (me) how to be safe and how to protect my fellow officers. I never Tom was recognized for his aggressive patrol procedure and Part 1 arrests. I'm sorry to just now that he has passed on. God bless a great cop.

Although I only met him a couple of times, Tom (Pop-Pop) was a very brave man who fought his way through life. His legend will live on.
