Dear Chief Yahner:
On behalf of the NAACP Maricopa County Branch and as chair of the Phoenix African American Police Advisroy Board, I express my deepest and sincere sympathy for the loss of Officer David Glasser. As we grieve for our fallen brother, Officer Glasser, our hearts are heavy knowing that he leaves behind his wife and children, family and loved ones. We extend our support and prayers to his precious family, as well as to his fellow officers at the Phoenix Police Department, the Maryvale precinct, his fellow officers on the Neighborhood Enforcement Team and to the Phoenix community whom he served with dedication and honor. Please accept our heartfelt condolences from the NAACP Maricopa County Chapter and its board members. The Phoenix Police Department is a wonderful and helpful partner to the NAACP, which makes up this big family here in Metro Phoenix. The perils of law enforcement are evident every day. Our brothers and sisters who wear the badge put their lives at risk every day in the line of duty for us. When a police officer loses his life, especially in the line of duty, we feel a collective sense of loss as we recall their bravery, unselfish dedication and commitment to keeping our communities safe. We will take this time to start a page on our website for a memorial site to honor and remember members of the law enforcement community and the good work they do, and to say Thank You for your service for our active and helpful Police Officers currently serving our communities. Sincerely Dr. Ann Hart President cc: Ed Zuercher, City Manager Ken Crane, Phoenix, Law Enforcement Assoc.
