Officer Callahan, it has been 60 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 the legacy of service that you had continued from the father, and the legacy of service that your family has continued, and especially your military and law enforcement service.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 49th 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.

Time never diminishes respect. You will always be remembered and revered.

Officer Callahan, today marks the 44th anniversary of your murder. It’s not the sacrifice you made that earns you the title hero, it was the willingness to make that sacrifice and you ten years of service to the City of Malden and the people of the Commonwealth as a whole that earns you that title. We can only hope that the individual who took your life faced true justice, if not in this life, then in the next.

God Bless you and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

I grew up in Malden and was 10 years old when Officer Callahan died. I vaguely remember the incident but have heard the story of his death told by my father,who was a Malden Police Officer at the time. I often think of Officer Callahan and visit this memorial page when I read of officers who have been killed in the line of duty. I think of him today a few days after Cpl. Bruce McKay of Franconia Police Department has been laid to rest on the New Hampshire side of the river.
I am third generation police officer and I'm proud to say my son is the fourth generation police officer in the family. I pray to God to keep my son safe and every man and woman who wears a badge. This written remembrance is long over due. My father, my son and I have not forgotten Officer Callahan for his service and sacrifice.
