On February 18, 1994, Lower Township Police Officer David C. Douglass, Sr. gave the ultimate sacrifice for his fellow man.  On that fateful day, Officer Douglass was dispatched to a suspicious person call in the North Cape May section of Lower Township.  Upon arrival, he pursued a burglary suspect on foot and the suspect turned and shot him.  Officer Douglass was able to return fire, striking the suspect in the hand and was able to make it back to his patrol car to call for assistance.  However, he did not survive the attack.  Following an in-depth investigation, Lower Township Police, along with several other assisting agencies, arrested the actor in New York City, in April of 1994. 

"Let us not forget his efforts, let us not forget his name and please let us not forget his family." 

The Lower Township Police Department continues to honor Officer Douglass who laid down his life in the line of duty.  Please take a moment to reflect on the sacrifice and contributions that Officer David C. Douglass, Sr. made for his community, along with many other law enforcement officers, who also were killed in the line of duty to protect and serve the citizens of their communities. May peace be with their families, friends and colleagues.
