Today the Law Enforcement Officers of Utah were saddened to learn of the murder of a fellow brother. A senseless tragedy took place in our back yard. Stephen Anderson a 22 year veteran of the Utah Department of Corrections was overtaken by career criminal Curtis Allgier. Allgier was able to wrestle a gun from him and as Anderson realized he had been bested, Allgier shot him in the back of the head. These are the times that try our spirits. The hearts of not only his family but also the hearts of all those who knew him will mourn his loss. I hope and pray that we never lose sight of the fact that there are those out there who are willing to stand in harms way. They do it for very little pay and with very little thanks. Nonetheless they are willing to do this so that your family and their own can sleep at night with a knowledge that someone is watching, and that if you would call that someone would be there. God bless the sheepdog and their ever watchful eyes.
Officer Stephen Anderson
(22 years Utah D.O.C.)
