Council Discusses Recognition Options for Fallen Public Safety Employees

On December 15, 1986, Addison Police Officer Ronnie Cox was killed in the line off duty serving a narcotics warrant in the City of Dallas. Currently, there is not any type of formal memorial or official recognition of Officer Cox's sacrifice within the Town. 

 

At the October 13 meeting, Police Chief Paul Spencer provided Council with an overview of possible recognition options for Addison's public safety personnel and shared several examples of other cities recognition efforts for police officers killed in the line of duty. Council gave staff direction to move forward with creating a recognition for Officer Cox, but to also research ways to create a visible, artistic recognition for members of both the Addison Police and Fire Departments.
