RESERVE LIEUTENANT ALFRED
GARRISON
Lantana Police Department Reserve
Unit
Lantana, Florida
Killed
In-The-Line-Of-Duty
December 2,
2001 
At the age of
78, Reserve Lieutenant Alfred Garrison was still in the service of
his community and of the Lantana Police Department when he was
struck and killed while directing traffic in front of a local
church. Lieutenant Garrison is the second Officer to die while
in the service of the Town of Lantana. A special Memorial is
being built to remember Garrison and another fallen hero, Sergeant
Andrew Redding. Sergeant Redding was killed in 1974, when a
drunken driver ran a red light and broadsided his cruiser at an
intersection. The Memorial is estimated to be completed in
December, 2003. Donations are still very much needed and are
being taken to pay the estimated $75,000 cost of this special
fountain and reflection pools. As Reserve Sergeant Ronald W.
Shearouse told NRLO, "When a Police Officer is killed, it is not
only a community that loses an Officer, it is the entire
nation." For
more information go to our publishing page for the Lantana Police
Department Reserve.

Ross County Sheriff's Reserve Deputy
Lawrence Barnes,
Sr.
Killed October 18, 2006
while
directing traffic southwest of Chillicothe, OH
Long-time NRLO
Member, Ross County Reserve Deputy Lawrence "Larry" Barnes, Sr.
(age 66) of Chillicothe, OH, was killed while directing traffic
at 7 a.m. along U.S. Route 50, southwest of Chillicothe. A
30-year Volunteer Law Enforcement veteran, Deputy Barnes was
directing traffic after a deer was struck along that portion of the
road. He was out of his patrol car attempting to stop traffic
when he was hit by a woman who apparently just didn't see
him. The lady driving the car was not injured.
Barnes is a
father of two and a retired grandfather of six and wasn't even
supposed to be working that day - he was filling in for someone who
was sick. Barnes was a retired worker from the Mead plant and
was active at his church. His son, Lawrence Barnes, Jr.,
told local NBC 4 reporter David Wayne, "He was always
positive. If I ever had a problem I could always go to him. He
loved putting on the uniform and going out in the cruiser and being
a part of that. That's the only thing he's ever really wanted
to do." His family said he died doing what he loved - helping
others. His son added, "He always wanted to help others, especially
young children."
Reserve Deputy
Barnes assisted at crime scenes, went on late-night runs with the
Springfield Township Volunteer Fire Department, plus he could be
found staying late to clean up after a fundraising dinner at his
church. He shall be sorely missed by all of his family,
friends, and fellow Law Enforcement Officers.
Ross County
Sheriff Ron Nichols said, "I'm proud of Larry. He did his
job. His job ended today." Sheriff Nichols said that he
believes Barnes is the first Ross County Sheriff's Deputy killed in
the line-of-duty. "He was a good man," the Sheriff said.
"If you needed somebody, he was there."
Reserve Deputy
Lawrence Barnes, Sr. is survived by his wife, Janet, and two
children. We at NRLO and Members across the country send
our thoughts and prayers to this fine man's family and
friends.
