Officer Down Memorial Page

Police work can be most dangerous, even in the simplest of situations, like writing a speeding ticket. Your ultimate sacrifie some 44 years ago will not be forgotten. You are a hero and your contribution shall not be forgotten.

Trooper Doris,
On today, the 42nd anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your community, but also for our Country when you served during WW II. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I remember well when Frank Doris died. I was only 13. My dad, Donald Johnson, was a Corporal in the State Police working out of District 12A. We were walking daddy to his car when Ura Gaines car went by. Daddy pulled his shotgun from the car and got in the chase. He ended up causing the suspect to roll the car. It hit daddy hard the way Trooper Doris died during a routine traffic stop. Daddy talked about what a good policeman he had been. It was the first time I really understood the danger that daddy and the other officers faced.
