Police began responding to reports about 4:30 a.m. Friday, May 10, and the reports did not stop until after 8 a.m., although one call came in Friday …

An officer’s death, particularly while on duty, is a very vivid reminder that peace officers put their lives on the line every time they put on their uniforms, and sometimes after they’ve removed them for the day. So it has been twice in recent years for the St. Charles Police Department, which saw one officer die while on duty a little more than seven years ago, and another officer die of injuries he received in a car wreck while …
