Synopsis

On July 18, 1983, Officer Thomas Alan "Bart" Bartholomew put on his uniform, said goodbye, and went to work for the City of Kissimmee, the way he had every day. That day, he didn't come home.

He wasn't Dirty Harry. He wasn't a headline or a statue. He was a father who adored his daughters, a son who made his parents proud, a friend who was funny, loyal, and gloriously human, flaws and all. And he was the kind of officer who would step between danger and a complete stranger without a second thought.

Written by a retired officer who knew him, served in his era, and carried his memory for forty years, this is more than the story of a fallen policeman. It's a tribute to the man behind the badge, and to every officer who quietly folds up their own grief and shows up anyway, so that someone else can be protected.

Bart did that every single day.

Until the day he didn't.
