Police Officer Boyle was electrocuted as he tried to move a fallen power line.
I grew up hearing the story and seeing the picture of my Great Great Grandfather (He was my Grandfathers' Grandfather) in his uniform holding his wooden nightstick. He was shield #1, and his shield, nightstick and handgun are on display in the Dobbs Ferry Police Dept. I think it is greatly because of him that my Father served as a Probation Officer for 39 years, and in Jan. 1998 I became a Police officer in Dobbs Ferrys' neighboring Village of Ardsley. In Jan. 2007 my younger brother became a Police Officer in Ardsley as well. I am very proud to say he is my Great Great Grandfather, and hope to make him proud as well.
