Killed in the Line of Duty Officer Craig Lehner
Officer Lehner joined the Buffalo Police Department in 2008. Lehner began his career within the E District, stationed on Bailey Avenue, he joined the K-9 Unit in 2016 with his his four-legged partner, Shield. Craig and Shield were insperable. "Craig had a magnetic personality," said Retired New York Army National Guard Sergeant Major Mark Sorrentino. "After only meeting him for a few minutes, you knew this kid was special. There was a drive about him. It just made you want to do better, to fight longer, to do one more push-up, to run faster, to just do better than you did yesterday. (news.wbfo.org)
Killed in the Line of Duty NYS Trooper Joel Davis
Trooper Davis spent 10 years as a Deputy at the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office before becoming a Trooper. He was just about to hit five years with the State Police. He married his high school sweetheart, went into law enforcement in the area where he grew up, and he raised his three children there. Davis was the commissioner of the Evans Mills Youth Baseball League where he taught community children the basics of baseball, from T-ball to fast-pitch, and helped organize the teams and kept the league on track. Davis was a devoted man, and his family was everything to him. (newyorkupstate.com)
