Officer Down Memorial Page

Sir, the Cambridge Police have moved to a new location and station. The new building gives our department the opportunity to diplay the picture that your wife had, graciously, given me. This picture of you, in uniform, will be diplayed at the new police station. Your bravery and sacrifice will not be forgotten. You are in my prayers, and I wish you and your family peace.

Patrolman Gorman,
On today, the 47th anniversary of your murder, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Cambridge. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

R.I.P.

Leo and I well remember your murder. Leo mentioned you just the other day. I remember seeing bullet "holes" at the Kendall T station entry which Dad pointed out happened when they gunned you down. i think we even have a mimeograph sheet honoring you and perhaps it recites the Policeman's Prayer to St. Michael. You will never truly be gone.

Patrolman Gorman, as a Harvard University Police Officer, I interact with the men and women of the Cambridge Police on a daily basis. It’s a professional and highly respected agency. That professionalism is reflected in the way our departments work so well together.

Your heroism on that night in Kendall Square is an example of what the CPD brings to the streets every day. On this 46th anniversary of your murder, I salute you and thank you for all the effort you put forth to make that city a bit safer.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
