“IT IS NOT HOW THESE OFFICERS DIED THAT MADE THEM HEROES, IT IS HOW THEY LIVED” WILLIAM ANDERSON BROWN November 30, 1863 - April 30, 1899 While assisting the Box Elder County Sheriff in the capture of two men wanted for robbery, a chase began from Hot Springs Stable eastward into the mountains. Captain Brown, along with four other officers, searched the hillside on horseback until they could go no further, then proceeded on foot. They caught sight of the outlaws and called for them to surrender. The elder robber responded with a fusillade of shots and was killed by a shot fired by Captain Brown. The younger man started to run and Captain Brown ran along the hillside toward him. Suddenly, when they were about forty yards apart, the robber turned and fired at Captain Brown. The bullet pierced Brown’s body on the right side, cutting through a heavy notebook and passing through his heart. As Brown fell face downward on the rocks, the bandit ran for cover and surrendered. At the time of his murder, 35-year-old Captain Brown had been a police officer for eight years and was the father of five children ranging in age from 2 to 12. HOYT L. GATES May 21, 1902 - February 11, 1941 The manager of the Safeway Store, 301 24th Street, was talking to his wife on the telephone when a man entered the store and announced a holdup. The manager told his wife to call the police and was forced to drop the phone. A call was received at the police station to send an officer and Detective Gates went to the business, unaware of the situation inside. He found the front door locked and started banging on the door. A clerk opened the door and tried to warn Gates to pull his gun but the robber immediately began firing. Gates swung to one side to make certain all the clerks were out of the line of fire and the robber shot him four times. Gates returned fire but the shots went wild. Gates staggered out the front door in a final attempt to reach the rear door where the robber had fled. Gates died five minutes later of internal bleeding. At the time of his death, 38-year-old Detective Gates had been a police officer for five years, and was the father of one son and one daughter. ALBERT G. SMALLEY September 3, 1900 - April 7, 1920 Ogden motorcycle officer Albert Smalley died April 7, 1920, of injuries resulting from an accident five months earlier when the motorcycle he was riding in pursuit of a stolen car was forced off the road by an automobile in Ogden Canyon.

CLARENCE CHARLES MANZEL February 5, 1876 - May 9, 1921 Patrolman Manzel was on his first shift since returning to the department after a three-year absence to manufacture harness for the war effort. Just before he was to go off duty, Manzel discovered a burglary at the N.O. Ogden clothing store on 25th Street. During the investigation, Patrolman Manzel was shot in the back of the head by one of two men he had stopped for questioning. At the time of his death, 45-year-old Charles Manzel had served as a police officer a total of eight years and was the father of three children. JOSEPH HORALD QUIGLEY June 27, 1900 - July 12, 1935 Hired as a residential patrolman to patrol the southeast end of the city, Joseph Horald Quigley had completed his rounds and was being driven home by two other officers when they came upon three men attempting to steal gasoline from a parked car. Quigley jumped out of the police car and gave chase, then jumped into the rear seat of a roadster which had been parked nearby as it sped away. The other officers heard three shots and returned to find Quigley’s lifeless body in a pool of blood at 23rd Street and Monroe. From her home, Edith Quigley heard the shots which ended her husband's life. At the time of his death, 35year-old Quigley had been a residential patrolman for four years. His four children ranged in age from 2 to 10, and Edith gave birth to a daughter the month following his death. M. BEAN December 9, 1903 - May 1, 1945 On July 22, 1944, Officer Bean was assigned duty on 25th Street. Upon entering the National Tavern, he became aware of a serviceman who was creating a disturbance. He asked the man to leave the bar and the man turned around on the stool and kicked him in the stomach, causing him to fall to the floor. While the serviceman was being placed in the patrol car, he again kicked Officer Bean in the groin area, causing him to fall into the gutter. After the kicking, Officer Bean had bouts of vomiting following meals. During the early morning hours of April 11, 1945, while on patrol with his companion, Officer Bean started with severe vomiting and was taken home. He was admitted to the hospital where exploratory surgery was performed on April 12. Due to the kicking, there were extensive internal injuries.

MARSHALL N. “DOC” WHITE July 7, 1909 - October 18, 1963 Detective Sergeant Marshall White and two other officers were searching a home where a possible break-in had been reported shortly after the escape of two juveniles from the Utah State Industrial School. Entering a hallway running the length of the home, White was in the lead, dressed in plain clothes and carrying his service pistol in one hand. The officers were in single file when an escapee suddenly appeared from a bedroom, armed with a .32 carbine. White said, “Come on, kid, give yourself up.” Instead, the escapee fired at White, the bullet striking him in the right side of his abdomen just below the ribs, exiting his back and burying itself in a kitchen wall. White fired one round before slumping to the floor. White died three days later at Dee Hospital. At the time of his death, 54year-old Detective Sergeant White had been a police officer for 15 years and was the father of seven children.
