Patrolman Gamble graduated from Scarlet Oaks Police Academy in December 1988. He started my law enforcement career as a police officer at Amelia Police Department that same year. After several years he was promoted to Police Sergeant and held that position for 16 years. While in that position he was responsible for 10-14 officers, was a firearms instructor for the department, in charge of scheduling, road patrol, some investigations, hiring processes, court officer, field training and new recruits. After leaving the Amelia Police Department, he was sworn in at Hamersville Police Department in 2015 where he was employed for 5 years. I also worked for the Lindner Center Police/UC West Chester Police from July of 2019 to July 2022. Dave decided to rejoin the Hamersville Police Department in 2023 mainly to assist the Chief with administrative duties. 

Policeman in he 1.png

A Policeman stood and faced his God,

which must always come to past.

He hoped his shoes were shining as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, officer. How shall I deal with you?

Have you always turned the other cheek?

To my church have you been true?

The officer squared his shoulders and said,

"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.

Cause those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.

But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep,

though I worked a lot of overtime when bills just got too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear.

And sometimes, God forgive me, I wept unmanly tears.

I know i don't deserve a place among the people here.

They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.

If you have a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand.

I've never expected or had too much.

But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne where the saints had often trod.

As the officer waited quietly for the answer of his God.

Step forward now, officer, you've borne your burdens well.

Come walk a beat on heavens streets, you've done your time in Hell.
