Neugate announced something that his friend told him about Reese and Girvin's partnership:

“I didn't know Reese well, but the fact that cam wanted to ride with him speaks volumes about the kind of man and police officer who was Reese, and I quote” Game recognizes the game “.”

He spoke individually about both officers and offered the following comments about the officer Christopher Reese:

“He was number one out of 24 recruits in his class. With a teamwork affected with a team work setting, he came to work and did his job and embodied what a policeman is. A friend told me that he was exactly what they would expect from a police officer. Chris was known as a calm man, but Mariah (Christopher's wife) is clear: his unshakable devotion to her spoke louder than words. “

He thanked the contingent of Reese's earlier department of the father, the Camden Police Department, which came to the service.

Then he thought about Officer Cameron Girvin:

“Cam, passionate, hardworking, proactive. His persistence, his work morality and his commitment impressed everyone around him.” He continued: “He was far beyond his years in his ability to take drugs, weapons and criminals off our streets. And when the stress of work or life on the squad, cam was counted on it to gather the troops. His passion for police work.”

He also spoke to Girvin's wife and said: “But it was not just about the job … he was in love with you, Jessica, his high school treasure and so excited to be a father. If there was a silver strip in anything, Paisley will know exactly who her guardian angel is. “
