JEFFERSON POLICE DEPARTMENT

When I start my tour of duty God,

Wherever crime may be,

As I walk the darkened street alone,

Let me be close to thee.

 

Please give me understanding

with both the young and old.

Let me listen with attention

until their story's told.

 

Let me never make a judgement

in a rash or callous way.

But let me hold my patience.

Let each man have his say.

 

Lord, if some dark and dreary night,

I must give my life,

with your everlasting love

protect the loved ones in my life.
