    We must all take time to reflect on what will, in all likelihood, be the 
deadliest day for law enforcement in our nations history.  The officers who 
gave their lives were murdered beyond the grave by the worthless cowards who 
committed the deadliest act of terrorism in our nations history.  We all 
know that the job of a law enforcement officer requires that we risk our 
lives in the performance of our duties.  Unfortunately, these brave officers 
paid the ultimate price in their attempt to serve and protect the citizenry 
in the area of the World Trade Center.   
    There are times where you can prepare for the deadly threat of an 
adversary.  Unfortunately, there is virtually no way to prevent this type of 
occurrence.  Please take a few moments to offer your thoughts and prayers to 
all of those who perished in this national tragedy today.
    In addition, please think about the other victims and take some time for 
reflection about how fortunate you are to live in the greatest country on 
earth.  Think about the saying, There but for the grace of God go I.  
Still, we can not take our freedoms and liberties for granted.  
    The first issue of The Use of Force Update will be sent to you at this 
e-mail address within the next few days.  I promise you that we will do our 
best to serve the law enforcement community and to make you job as safe as 
possible.  Remember, to take time for reflection.  Stay Alert, Informed and 
Alive!
