Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Richard F. Lawton

Deputy Lawton, it has been 108 years since you were taken from us. New England law enforcement has continued to thrive, learn and become safer due to the traditions and sacrifices you, your family, and many others have made for us. Thank you for your 5 years of law enforcement service.

Deputy Sheriff Lawton,
Sir, last year when I left a reflection for you I got the anniversary of your End of Watch wrong. Please forgive me I won’t make that mistake this year. On today, the 102nd anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Hampden County.
