Episode Details

New Jersey has lost over five hundred and seventy law enforcement officers, including six police dogs, since 1854. These losses are documented by the Officer Down Memorial Page, a nonprofit tracking such incidents nationwide. The first recorded death occurred in 1854 when Newark Police Officer Maxwell Badgley was killed while dealing with a prisoner. Peace Officers Memorial Day is observed annually to honor these fallen officers, with flags lowered to half-staff. The memorial page remains open for public contributions to keep these stories accurate and ensure the legacy of those who served is never forgotten.
