On the anniversary of Patrolman John W. Constabile’s death, we honored his service in 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 Constabile gone, but not forgotten.
