Baltimore Police History, Fallen Hero page. Some of our Brothers or Sisters died in ways that may have earned them the Department’s Medal of Honor. Some may have passed in ways that are not viewed as heroic. But to us, their lives are just as valued. If they died on the job, or as a direct result of the job, we hope they will be honored with all of our remembrance. May they Rest in Peace.
