An Act establishing memorial markers in the towns of Milton and Canton in memory of certain law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty
This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to install four street sign-style memorial markers in the towns of Milton and Canton. These markers will honor four specific law enforcement officers who died while performing their duties by listing their names and the circumstances of their deaths at the exact locations where the incidents occurred. The legislation requires the department to maintain these plaques, which will detail events such as a fatal traffic stop, a pursuit accident, a fall from a horse, and a drowning while attempting a rescue.
