April 25th, 1961 to End of Watch September 6, 2008.

Paul and I were in the 125th Police Academy Class at the Contra Costa County Criminal Justice Training Center at Los Medanos College, from July to December of 1994. Even back then, you could tell that law enforcement was his calling. I remember sitting in that hot classroom during the first days of the academy, when all of a sudden the instructor, during the middle of a lecture, would throw out question to the recruits. Everyone in the class would be too scared to raise their hands to answer the question for fear of saying the wrong answer outloud, but not Paul. His hand was up and he would answer the question. Paul would raise his hand after every question. The first three days of the academy was dominated by this guy named Starzyk, who had all the answers. It was kind of annoying at first, but then we all got to know him.
We found out he already had alot of pre-academy experience as a reserve police officer. He was also coming into full-time police work a little later in life than most, after leaving leaving his previous job working at a bank. He was one of the more outspoken members of our class who possesed natural leadership abilities.
Paul Starzyk’s death in the line of duty is a tremendous loss to the community he served as well as the Bay Area Law Enforcement community who knew him. Go with God Paul and let your brothers take your place on The Line.
