Reflections for Chief of Police Franklin Arthur Dent

Thinking of Chief Dent & his ultimate sacrifice to the Town of Bloomsburg 96 years ago. God Bless him and his family. It was an honor and privilege to be able to have Chief Dent's name added to the Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington D.C.

Chief Frank Dent, I thank you for your service. I am y our great niece, LuAnn (Dent) Everitt. My father, Charles H. Dent, Sr. was your nephew. My husband is a retired police officer from Stroudsburg, PA, and I thank God every day that his career is behind him. Again, thank you for your dedication and your sacrifice. You are truly a hero and your family is so proud of you.

Great Niece

While your killer was never identified and caught he/she surely faced a higher justice at a later time. Rest in peace knowing that no passage of time will ever erase your service and sacrifice.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 83rd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.


Rest In Peace.
