To the Campbell Family:

I was saddened to just learn of Glen's passing.

I witnessed Glen serve as a law enforcement officer over the last 15 to 20 years. While displaying a keen intellect and diligence as he discharged his duties to serve and protect, this was secondary to perhaps the most important attribute he displayed as an officer. Glen was a gentleman who displayed, without fail, respect and compassion to everyone - especially to those he was required to arrest and take into custody.

Glen is a shining example for all in perhaps the most difficult profession of how to conduct oneself as a law enforcement officer.

I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
