He was distinguishably awarded the Army Service Ribbon, the Overseas Service Ribbon, the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Southwest Asia Service Medal, and the Bronze Service Star; and Whereas, Officer Carrizales began his career in law enforcement with the City of Columbia police department on December 6, 2004, taking the Oath of Office on April 18, 2005. He served in various capacities-North Region Patrol, Master Police Officer, Community Services, Drug Suppression team, Special Operations Bureau, and Office of Professional Standards-always answering the call of duty with integrity and commitment; and Whereas, though he briefly stepped away for a federal position, Officer Carrizales soon realized that his heart would always remain in policing. He returned to the Columbia Police Department in 2010 to continue his mission of protecting and serving; and Whereas, most recently known for his role in protecting Columbia's leadership, Officer Carrizales was entrusted with the security detail for two Columbia mayors, current Mayor Daniel J. Rickenmann and former Mayor Stephen K. Benjamin. He ensured their safety with the same steadfast devotion he brought to every assignment; and Whereas, over the years, Officer Carrizales received a number of honors and awards, including the Columbia Police Department Officer of the Year Award and the Community Achievement Award; and Whereas, Officer Carrizales leaves to cherish his memory his parents, Javier and Celia Carrizales; his wife of thirty-four years, Gayle Carrizales; and their two children, Blake and Lauren.
