The Cost

We are grateful for his sacrifice

Officer Scott Patrick of the Mendota Heights police lost his life yesterday in the line of duty. Police officers put their lives on the line for our safety, and to uphold our law. Last night, he paid the ultimate price for us.

Officer Patrick is survived by his wife, Michelle, and two daughters. A site has been set up to allow the community to rally support for the needs of those he left behind: www.gofundme.com/ccqr1s.

My thoughts and prayers are with him, and his family.
