West Bloomfield Police Memorial Pays Tribute to Fallen Officers

The new monument includes a portrait of Sergeant Patrick O'Rourke, who was killed in the line of duty last year.

A new monument that honors fallen police officers was installed in front of West Bloomfield Township Police Department this week. 

The monument's 4-sided block base provides space for tributes to specific officers. One side bears an etched portrait of Sergeant Patrick O'Rourke, who was killed in the line of duty in September of 2013. A number of events last month marked the one-year anniversary of his death

Lieutenant Tim Diamond said an official dedication of the monument will likely be held some time in the spring.
