Patrick Creeden

Captain Creeden died as the result of a fall. He and two other officers went to the train station in order to apprehend several suspects for whom they had arrest warrants. The suspects fled when they saw the officers approach, and Captain Creeden pursued them. As he was doing so lost his footing and fell off of a bridge. He succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter at a hospital.

Captain Creeden had served in law enforcement for 18 years. He was survived by his wife and six children.
