Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I have chose Robert Dooley as my silent partner. Over these last couple days, I’ve been reading His information every day. He may be gone, but he’ll always be remembered as a hero when it comes to being a US veteran and a police officer. To the family I hope you know he will always be a treasure to DPD.

Brother Bob,
Sadly I just learned of your passing. I remember our get togethers in the mid 70s and exchanging our days at Detroit rehab. Haven't seen you in years but looking forward to seeing you again. Keep a cold one ready for me. RIP my brother.

I remember Bob Dooley visiting my home as a child. He workrd at Sears auto before he was a policeman. Is this the same Bob Dooley?

Not a cop

The third subject was killed by a drug dealer in a shootout in Detroit. He died as he lived, violently and unmourned. I remember Bob's slow recovery after his close call with death. He never gave up trying and hoping for a better future. A true gentleman and a great warrior for justice. KQA414, the last run.

It was an honor to know Bob. My partner (Kerry C. Hansen) and I stood guard many days at Ford Hospital for Bob as he recuperated. Many officer's of the 2nd Precinct (2801 W. Vernor Street, Detroit) also had the pleasure to give their time for our police family which included Patrolman, Robert Dooley.
