How often do we think of the heroes and their families who sacrificed for our safety?
On Feb. 18, 2002, Constable Laura Ellis was responding to a call for a break-and-enter. While on their way, they were in a collision that sent the cruiser into a hydro pole. Constable Ellis was pronounced dead at the hospital. She was the first female TPS officer to die in the line of duty.
