Michael Scott Bell

To the surviving Bell family, you have my deepest sympathy for your great loss. Scott was a genuinely all-around great person and one of the best officers I knew. He was an all-around great officer who was always there to help a fellow officer in need of assistance or advice. He was a great mentor for new officers (including me) for how to do the job and do it well. I looked up to him as someone I could always ask advice, even after he left the department. He was quiet, never cocky, always...

I will always remember Scott as "Mr. Bell", as that's how I addressed him when I worked his background for Police Officer and later during his time in the Academy. Mr. Bell's positive attitude and pleasant,quiet manner led me to believe he would be a good officer and informal leader. I will remember him fondly. My prayers to both Mr. Bell's CMPD family and his personal family. He will be missed greatly.

Scott....It was a pleasure working with you. You were a hard working officer that respected everyone and had the respect of your peers. I am so glad I got the chance to get to know you on a personal level as well. Thanks for backing me up on several calls and traffic stops. I am so glad I got a chance to tell you about your impact on our department before you left the department. Your presence was missed as soon as you left the department, rest peacefully in GOD's arm my brother, Rest in Peace.

Bell and I worked together in the University Div. (CMPD) He was a great person. He will truly be missed. RIP brother

It was such a joy to work along side you. You always had a smile on your face. Still cannot believe you are gone. Thank you for your service to this community. May your soul rest in peace.
