Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Patrolman Sullivan, it has been 95 years since you were taken from us. New England law enforcement continues to serve and protect and make life secure for our part of the country. I honor your military 1 month of law enforcement service to the citizens of the Boston Metropolitan area.

My nephew (James Sullivan) and I have found Patrolman Thomas J. Sullivan's picture with the evidence to support it. Patrolman Thomas Sullivan is my Grand Uncle (Brother to my Grandfather Patrolman Patrick F. Sullivan (aka P.F. Sullivan)). The picture is his WWI recruting photo from the MA State Archives. Pg 49 of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Annual Report of the Adjutant General Year Ending December 31, 1929 confirms his death on Oct 5, 1929 which matches his Officer Down date. I also have my Grandfather's (Patrick) entry in his police log book discussing Thomas's death and the bereavement leave he took for his brother Thomas. I will send you the file.

Patrolman Sullivan was my Grand Uncle. His brother Patrick, a World War I veteran of the 101st Inf Regiment Yankee Division served as Boston City Patrolman and passed in 1969. I just got copies of his log books from the 1930s--amazing pieces of history. It is an honor to be related to two dedicated law enforcement officers. If any other of Thomas descendants would like to reach out to me send me an email to [email protected].
