Per Montgomery County:
For Immediate Release: Friday 4 February
Today, the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD) lost Police Officer III Douglas Haggerty in an off-duty car accident. We are grateful for his nearly 12 years of service. My sympathies are with Officer Haggerty’s family, friends, and MCPD colleagues. We are greatly saddened by this tragic accident that took the life of this beloved man of valor who was known and appreciated for his bright disposition.
Officer Haggerty served as a patrol officer and was dedicated to protecting our community. He leaves behind a legacy of commitment and service to the people of this County that should serve as an example to us all. He will be missed but never forgotten.
I am asking the residents of Montgomery County to keep the Haggerty family as well as the staff and officers of MCPD in your thoughts during this very difficult time.
