HONORING THEIR SGT. DETECTIVE

The extended family of the late Sgt. Det. Richard Clancy gathered in front of a new memorial wall inside the Boston Police Department’s Area C-11 stationhouse on Gibson Street at a ceremony on Sept. 17 where the police held a family day celebration that featured the dedication of a memorial wall presenting Dorchester officers who have died over the last three decades. The display includes an array of seven plaques featuring portraits of the officers memorialized, including Det. Sherman Griffiths, Det. Edwin Kenneally, Det. Jay Greene, Officer Patrick Donovan, Officer Joseph Zanoli, Officer Michael Baker, and Sgt. Det. Richard Clancy. Mayor Martin Walsh, Police Commissioner William Evans and Chief William Gross attended the dedication event, which included individual unveilings of each plaque and remarks from family members.
