On the 80th anniversary of Patrolman Jeremiah E. O’Connell’s death, we honored his service during roll call by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job.

Patrolman O’Connell is gone, but not forgotten.
