The Dallas Police Department has lost one of its own. Officer Thomas Lee Harris, a member of the force, was recently commemorated on the department’s official social media channels. The tribute post, which simply read "Roll Call of Honor - Officer Thomas Lee Harris #GoneButNotForgotten #DallasPD," was accompanied by an image honoring the fallen officer. The somber announcement, made by the Dallas Police Department last Saturday, reminds us that the safety our officers provide sometimes comes at the ultimate cost.

As we continue to learn more about Officer Harris's service, the details of his end of watch have not been made to fully emerge. What is clear, though, is the bond forged by those who promise to serve and protect. The Dallas PD’s tweet, solemn and respectful, ensures to never forget their colleague's dedication. Officer Harris's tenure with the department is deserving of recognition, as is each sacrifice made by officers who place themselves squarely in the path of danger, each day aiming to truly keep the peace.
Further details concerning Officer Harris's career or the circumstances leading to his inclusion in the 'Roll Live of Honor' have yet to be released publicly. The Dallas Police Department is expected to share more about the fallen officer's legacy in the coming days. Members of the community are likely to closely follow the unfolding remembrance, hoping to fully honor a man who stood to guard the safety of his fellow citizens with courage and steadfastness.
