Fallen Officers
The Los Angeles Airport Police was fortunate enough to have not encountered a line of duty death for most of its history (59 years). However, on April 29, 2005, Airport Police Officer Tommy Edward Scott was killed while investigating a suspicious person near an airport perimeter fence. His killer, William Sadowski, was apprehended by responding police officers after crashing a car he car hijacked from a citizen who stopped to assist Officer Scott. Sadowski was convicted of first-degree murder and carjacking on November 16, 2009. On January 15, 2010, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or officers:
“Women have been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we venture out, we will fall off the edge. Some of us have ventured out nevertheless, and so far we have not fallen off. It is my faith, my feminist faith, that we will not.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
“You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.”
—Anthony Henley (d. 1745)
