Resident reads names of fallen officers during National Police Officers Week at commission meeting
Summary
Resident Rose Nyman read the names of local and state law enforcement officers in observance of National Police Officers Week, highlighting omissions and possible corrections in official records; the Commission received the remarks during public comment.
During the public-comment period, Rose Nyman noted that May 15 is dedicated to fallen law enforcement officers and said state lists contain omissions or incorrect details for some local officers. Nyman read the names of officers from several eras, including Patrick Dougherty (last watch March 6, 1905) and Lieutenant Timothy "Sox" Sullivan (last watch February 10, 1985), and asked that state records be updated where necessary. "As you all know this is National Police Officer's Week and May 15th is dedicated to our fallen officers nationwide," Nyman said, urging local groups such as the Montana Police Protective Association to consider record corrections.
Chairman Kevin Hart and commissioners received the remarks during public comment; there was no formal action recorded. Nyman's reading served as an observance and a request for historical-corrective follow-up on behalf of local stakeholders.
