Never Forgotten 💙

Please take a moment and remember our fallen brother, John Sartain. Keep his family in your thoughts and prayers as today marks the 55th anniversary of John's End-of-Watch. May God find peace for John, his family, and the entire CCPD family during this difficult time.

John William Sartain – August 20, 1971

On August 19, 1971, at approximately 11 p.m., Officer John Sartain and his partner Gilbert Lazo were walking to their patrol unit to begin their tour of duty. A 16-year-old sniper shot Sartain from a housing complex across the street from the Police Department. John Sartain was pronounced dead at 8:50 a.m. on August 20, 1971.

Sartain was survived by his wife and daughter.

Day 4 of Summer Academy brought so many adventures for Post 133! Explorers went with officers from Patrol, the Traffic Unit, and the Crime Reduction Unit all over the city to get a true experience of what law enforcement is all about! From traffic stops, to disturbances, to accidents, to thefts, Explorers were able to see first hand how officers keep our community safe. Explorers assisted with helping the elderly and even spotting an individual in distress and getting them immediate medical attention! Great job everyone!
