The Watch For many years this officer stood the watch. While some of us lay about at night . . . This officer stood the watch. While others of us were attending schools and yes, Even before some of us were born . . . This officer stood the watch. As our families watched the storm clouds of crime and civil unrest brewing on the horizons of our communities . . . This officer stood the watch. Often the Officer would think of home and see the family needed guidance, but knew they must stay because . . . This officer had the watch. For many years they stood the watch so that we and our fellow citizens could sleep soundly in safety knowing that . . . This officer would stand the watch. Today we are here to say . . . “The watch stands relieved . . .” Relieved by those that you have led, guided, mentored and trained. “Officer, you stand relieved . . . We now have the Watch”
