A Dedication Ceremony was held to honor
Three Police Officers who lost their lives
OKANOGAN, WA., MAY 12—An “Okanogan County Law Enforcement
Memorial” dedication ceremony was held here today for three
Police Officers who made the ultimate sacrifice!
On August 27, 1973, Tribal Police Officer Roy Richard Bradshaw
lost his life when he was shot with a rifle while searching a
home for a suspect above Nespelem, WA. On the same day (August
27) thirteen years later while outside a home in Nespelem,
WA., looking for two suspects Colville Tribal Police Officer
John Dick was struck in the left shoulder and Sgt. Louis
Millard who yelled at John was fatally shot.
On March 25, 1998, a suspect by the Omak Stampede Motel shot
and killed Michael W. Marshall and the suspect also wounded
Omak Police Officer Don Eddy Jr.
Police Officers from 15 different organizations participated
in the Dedication ceremony to honor and pay their respect to
the three slain police officers. The Okanogan County Sheriff’s
Office formed the honor guard, which consisted of a drill
team, a firing detail, etc.
After the Dedication ceremony was over, the Law Enforcement
Officers paid their respect to the family members of the three
police officers!
“GONE
BUT NOT FORGOTTEN”—Around 200 people attended the Okanogan
County Law Enforcement Memorial dedication ceremony held
Friday, May 12, in front of the County Courthouse. The
Memorial contains the names of three men who lost their lives
while on duty: Colville Tribal Police Officer Roy Bradshaw and
Sgt. Louis Millard, and Omak Police Officer Michael Marshall.
