Officer Down Memorial Page

Just to let you know your sacrifice is not forgotten. Not by me or members of the Cambridge P.D. On June 14, 2008, 55 years after your death,the city of Cambridge named a street in your honor. The street is located beside the new public safety building on Washington Ave.Corporal Tom Hurley who is also lodge #27 F.O.P. president lead the charge to make this happen. On May 22, 2009 the Eastern Shore Police Association (ESPA)honored you,and 32 other heroes who died in the line of duty on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. At Camp ESPA a new wall was dedicated for you and the 32 other Police Officers. If any one drives through Federalsburg Md., stop by Hillcrest Cemetery and pay my uncle a visit. Go in the front gate make a left, the first road make a right, count 2 trees on the left, and there will be a headstone for Hackett. Behind that stone lies this hero. I don't get down there that often due to living in Philadelphia,but you are remembered each day.
