Thanks to Officer Dodge for his and his family's sacrifice. He is indeed not forgotten. And thanks to Officer Miller for his research into this matter.

Officer Dodge was forgotten until I found his photo in a box of old pictures in 1997. It took a few months of research but I was able to confirm that Officer Dodge died in the line of duty while trying to catch a speeding vehicle. A local woman didn't see him coming down the main street and turned in front of him. Officer Dodge's funeral was the largest memorial ever held in King City. He was beloved by many and the Chief of Police was reportedly inconsolable when he arrived at the scene.

I was able to track down Officer Dodge's son who was born a day after Officer Dodge was killed. I was surprised to find learn that Officer Dodge's widow was still alive at 99 years old.

The City rallied to re-memorialize Officer Dodge during a ceremony in June 1997. Officer Dodge's son and wife attended. A flag pole and plaque were dedicated to Officer Dodge. Officer Dodge's son gave the department his father's badge which is on display in the lobby of the police depart.

The plaque at the base of the flag pole reads "Officer William "Clarence" Dodge Fallen but not Forgotten."

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 83rd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace
