Text of the page (random words):
n having a front row seat to watch human beings treat each other so often with such callous disregard can wear any person down katlyn wanted to be in the middle of all of these things anyway she wanted to go where the action was when she graduated and she certainly got her wish when she was assigned to the sixth district after graduation district six covers basically the northernmost part of st louis city and finds itself the leader in violent crimes nearly every single year that s a stat that i m sure made katlyn eager to begin her career there in spite of its reputation i never worried about katlyn going to the sixth district in fact i knew it was going to be a perfect fit for her every day there is a new adventure a new challenge and the mix of officers there are some of the best in the city i had no doubt she d fit right in i was further tickled to learn that she would be assigned to then police officer suzy kearney in field training i worked with suzy in the 6 th district and don t know if i ve ever enjoyed answering calls with another officer as much as i did with her suzy is a detective now deservedly so i knew they d not only be great policing partners but they d get along great as friends to boot or pals as suzy would say to know detective kearney is to love her same as with officer alix they were a great match i think women have a different experience with this job than men do at least a little bit so i thought it was outstanding that suzy could impart what she knew about that aspect of the job to katlyn as well katlyn and i stayed in touch after she graduated from the academy and during the course of my getting to know her as police officer alix i became impressed with her quick understanding of the realities of the job and the city she learned quickly that her thirst for stats wasn t always congruent with her even stronger thirst to do what was best or right in her mind and to help people who were down on their luck we talked about the rampant poverty that she saw in so much of that part of the city and how hard it was sometimes to know that you just can t help everyone she understood not to take the job personally and that people who misbehave after a few drinks on friday night aren t necessarily terrible people come monday mornings she didn t hold unnecessary grudges and she brought a fresh attitude to each person she encountered she made going to work more enjoyable for everyone who worked with her it took me years to appreciate some of these nuances that katlyn was beginning to understand already with just two years on the job you have to grow up fast when you start your career in the sixth district and she certainly did just that katlyn worked hard and she brought that same effort to her personal life after she graduated katlyn would come to the academy gym regularly not be seen but to work her butt off she would push and push and push herself because as she confided in me one day she wanted to be able to see whatever in the world these muscles were point to hips katlyn was strong of body and of mind she had a heart of gold and would do anything for anybody they say you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals and children katlyn worshipped her doodle dog and puppy and absolutely loved her curly haired little nephew she talked about how she wished she could take all the homeless dogs and less fortunate kids and give them a better life somewhere safe she meant it it literally hurt her heart when she felt like she couldn t save a dog or a kid from a less than desirable situation when i saw her name on a recent transfer list i was surprised and i had to tease her for being moved from the sixth district to the much less violent second district when i ribbed her about her being tired of the action after only two years she told me that she had to make the move so she could work nights in order to go to nursing school i loved hearing that from her i always harped on the recruits and even now the officers who work for me to get as much training and education as they can especially if they can get the department to pay for it so i was so proud of her but not surprised of course because if there s any profession that requires more heart and soul and commitment to one s fellow man than policing it s nursing she would have been an amazing nurse unfortunately of course katlyn s story ended before she got to be a nurse or even step foot into a nursing classroom to say that her death was unexpected and shocking is an understatement like many of you i ve spent nearly the past week in a mental fog in a daze sometimes angry but more often just hurt and frustrated that a light that shined so bright could be extinguished just like that i don t feel the loss of katlyn so deeply because she was a police officer that s a part of it sure but i feel it because of who she was because of the kind of person she was and because i know that the world is a worse place without her in it she still had a lot of growing up and living left to do i only knew katlyn for two and a half years and i am almost twice her age a generation apart really even so we were more alike than you might think for me to be able to tell you that i loved that kid like she was one of my own is a testament to what an incredible young woman she was to her family especially tony and aimee and taylor and her friends who knew her even better than i did and to all the great current and former soldiers and police officers who went to battle side by side with her every day or every shift i can t imagine your grief if mine has been any indication you all have my gratitude and my condolences thank you so much for giving me the honor of doing this today it means so much to me may we all find peace during this terribly sad time thank you and god bless posted in police police stories the not meant to be funny stuff tagged katlyn alix law enforcement police police funeral slmpd 13 comments tragedy spares nobody posted on january 24 2019 by donofalltrades when it comes to tragedy there surely can be no better place to have your heart broken or spirit crushed than by being associated with the st louis metropolitan police department i don t know if egregious misfortune is endemic to this police department but it s the only place i ve ever worked as a police officer i suspect most other major urban departments have the same issues that we do there just seem to be so many it s never a matter of if something stunning or unfortunate is going to happen but rather when long spells of quiet have always made me nervous because that always means we re due if it s not a police shooting it s a cop s young wife or child or the cop himself dying of cancer if it s not cancer it s a police officer having a heart attack or falling from a roof and dying or blowing his brains out in the parking lot it s just one awful thing after another maybe part of the problem is that police officers don t take just the local deaths to heart many of us feel it when another police officer is killed or dies tragically anywhere in the country and for some maybe the world we mourn for strangers we call brothers and sisters in a way that i don t think other professionals do maybe it s not healthy but family is family when i posted last i used a picture of a young lady who was shot and killed while responding to a mundane traffic accident call she was a police officer in california she was young and appeared happy and had a bright future ahead of her until she was gunned down by a lunatic for reasons i still don t think we know for certain davis ca police officer natalie corona i remember being taken aback a little bit by the picture of this young lady because she reminded me of one of my favorite st louis police officers po katlyn alix po katlyn alix eow 1 24 19 if you told me they were sisters i d have no reason to call you a liar last night officer alix was shot and killed while she was off duty in what is currently being called an accident i suspect that s the best term for it an accident i have zero clue what happened at this point i have no details about the shooting and i don t want to dwell on that or what i think the fallout might or should be depending on what happened instead this is just a post about my friend to help me move on i met officer alix when i was teaching law at the police academy back then she was recruit alix i was her class s supervisor which meant that i would basically help guide them begrudgingly at times for all of us through their thirty weeks of training until they graduated into police officers she was one of thirty nine in her class on that first day in june 2016 i recall she was quiet and shy or at least she acted that way back then i think she wanted to fly under the radar and just get through unnoticed that s how the good ones get through the academy quiet and unassuming i had other ideas however she was or acted almost too bashful so i appointed her the assistant class president along with another young lady who served as president i chose recruit alix because i knew she d been in the military so she wasn t soft she would stand up to the other recruits on my behalf and put her foot in their rear ends were that necessary there was something about her that told me she was a good egg and that she would be a good recruit we have to compile all of the recruits personal information when they start so i knew she was also a pisces like me i only remember that because she was born on the same date as a grade school friend of mine mark martinez march 12th i remember mark s birthday because we shared our class parties during our time in grade school together he was born on the 12th and another girl jeanie the 31st she also shared in the march party oddly mark also died way too young he was shot and killed when he was just seventeen in the old mcree town neighborhood which would later be the first area i would patrol as a brand new police officer recruit alix sailed through the academy with little problem she was athletic and smart she was inquisitive and asked good questions she stood out in a final recruit class of twenty six very good recruits at graduation i knew that she was going to be a special police officer po alix front and center with her 2016 02 class officer alix wanted to go where the action was and got her wish when she was assigned to the sixth district if you ve read this blog for any time you ll know that the sixth district is where i patrolled for a few years and where most of my terrible stories come from on duty officer alix was assertive yet compassionate she understood early on really the human aspect of this job and she empathized with people she saw everyday who were struggling to survive let alone live she d mentioned to me a few times that she didn t understand it the blight and despair but she wanted so badly to help she once posted a picture on facebook of herself in uniform she was holding a baby in her arms and wrote a long post about the baby s mother s struggle with heroin i don t remember the details but i remember i was in my patrol car when i read it and was so moved by it that i texted her right away to tell her how proud i was of her she was made to remove that post by her commander because god forbid a young officer show any heart or compassion about this job on social media she was told her post violated hipaa which is complete garbage as police officers aren t subject to hipaa please tell me if i m wrong about that anyway it was so moving and just showed the sort of person she was even in uniform in spite of the oftentimes depressing surroundings officer alix knew how to have fun with the job which is important if you want to do it for any extended time always having fun she also loved her dog who i suddenly feel terribly sorry for as i type this right now because nobody will ever be able to love that puppy like she did no matter how hard they might try she loved him like only those people who are just so goddam good hearted and sweet can love an animal you know the type they re just special human beings once before she graduated from the academy she came to me and asked rather sheepishly if i knew anybody who wanted a dog it was a weird question under normal circumstances but even weirder then because my mom had literally told me less than a week earlier that my dad wanted a dog he wanted a little dog i think maybe it was another midlife thing anyway her mom had found this dog on the side of a roadway all matted lost and confused but they couldn t keep it because her mom had a dog already and get this monkeys they had monkeys in their house when recruit alix first told me that she had a brother and sister who were monkeys i didn t know what to make of that info so i let it go it turns out that they re literally monkeys sort of like ross from the show friends had anyway they couldn t keep the dog and my parents couldn t have been anymore interested so we made a match i drove a ways to get the dog and got to meet katlyn s mom she was a sweet woman and of course mentioned that she worried about her daughter s safety i never assure anybody that their son or daughter will be fine because with this job you never know we talked a bit about how katlyn had the tools to be better than most officers and i think we parted ways with her feeling better about her daughter s future venture into north st louis the dog has made my folks imminently happier for whatever reason and i ll be forever grateful to katlyn for that i would send her a pic of the dog from time to time because i knew it made her happy to see tennessee whiskey hangover tenny for short doing well officer alix was a friend to many she was a daughter a wife a sister and a super proud aunt to a handsome little guy she loved with all her might she served her country in the army and the st louis community as a police officer she squeezed more into her twenty four years than many of us will into our whole lives her death really sucks this one stings perhaps maybe more than any other in my twenty years of slmpd deaths i used to only jokingly call my recruits my babies but the truth is that i did and do still care for all of them all of you since i know some of you will read this i hope if you re a police officer and you re grieving you will think about what you wished you could have said to katlyn if you had the chance and make sure you say those same sorts of things to those who are important to you that you still can say them to godspeed young lady posted in police the not meant to be funny stuff uncategorized tagged leo police police academy police work slmpd 27
