I remember Tom as a kind and dedicated Omaha Police officer. We worked on many assignments together, jogged after work, and he always had a smile on his face. My sincere condolences to his family, especially to Tom Jr who Tom was very proud of. Steve Novotny

There will never be another Tommy Shaffer. He could be serious if he had to be, but he´d rather not!
He could always calm down an irate citizen be funny doing it. I worked in narcotics, IA, and CIB, I always knew I could depend on Tom, unlike other command officers! You´re missed already, Tom!
My prayers and condolences to Kris, his kids, and grands. The world going to be a different place for many without you in it!
