On behalf of 230 Federal Correctional Officers at Kent Maximum Security Institution in Agassiz, British Columbia, Canada, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to all the families, fellow officers, and the community.
To the families; be strong in the belief that your mother/father, wife/husband and sister/brother gave their lives to protect all of you and gave their lives so that you would remain safe.
To all fellow officers; there is no explanation which can give you any kind of true closure to this tragedy. To that end, I extended our deepest sympathies to you all. Brothers and Sisters in uniform become an integral part of all of us in the law enforcement community. I wish you all the best with your recovery.
The PRIDE, SOLIDARITY and DIGNITY that these officers pledged to the community and the flag, speaks volumes of the commitment of these officers. Words cannot describe who these officers were; only shed a glimmer into their lives.
Many a night we call on the police, fire or ambulance to keep us safe but seldom do we take the time to thank them on a daily basis. I would encourage you all to take more time out of your day to honour the fallen, and the serving members as they give us the freedoms we enjoy.
Respectfully
Brian Zimmerman

To the family, friends, and co-workers of Sgt. Renninger and Ofc. Griswold, Owens and Richards: you have our heartfelt condolences. Our hearts are especially heavy with sadness tonight, knowing that Tuesday will be very difficult for all. Tomorrow at 1pm, we will be praying even more for you, and you will be in our thoughts long after tomorrow. Although I live in Sacramento and have not met any of you or these 4 heroes, I felt compelled to communicate as this heinous, senseless and cowardly ambush killings outrage us all --- as demonstrated by the postings from all over the world. Please know that the public loves LEOs, and their families as well for supporting them so they can do a job which may not always be appreciated by the very people whom LEOs have sworn to protect and serve; their unselfishness and love for the public is heartwarming. I have family and friends who are cops, so I have some inkling as to the level of commitment and sacrifice involved for both the police officer and the family. I am so sorry that they gave the ultimate sacrifice in keeping us safe. May you find some comfort in knowing that although they no longer walk this earth, they have left their imprint in the hearts of so many, and they are at peace in God's loving arms. May the memories of your loved one help you through this difficult time and help you to heal. God bless.##imported-begin##Lisa L. Cooper##imported-end##
