IN THE LINE OF DUTY. "When a police officer is killed, it's not an agency that loses an officer, it's an entire nation." -Chris Cosgriff, ODMP Founder

Officer Jeremiah J. Hurley, Jr.
Boston Police Department, Massachusetts
End of Watch: Monday, October 28, 1991
Age: 50
Tour: 23 years
Badge # 1772

Officer Jeremiah Hurley was killed while investigating a call regarding a suspicious package in a residential neighborhood. During the investigation the package exploded, killing him and wounding the other officer on the scene.

The bomb had been attached to the bottom of a car and fell off in the driveway. The bomb builder was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, but that conviction was overturned and he was re-sentenced in 2007 to serve 37 years. In August of 2008 a federal appeals court reinstated the life sentence.

Officer Hurley had served with the agency for 23 years. He was survived by his wife, two daughters, two stepsons, and two grandchildren. [odmp.org]

My Notes:

The son of Jeremiah John Hurley B.P.D. and Doris Genevieve O'Rourke.
