  1. Built the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, which is visited by more than 200,000 people annually.

  2. Established and now operate the Memorial Museum and Visitors Center.

  3. Collected and catalogued information on more than 17,500 law enforcement fatalities.

  4. Published the book, To Serve and Protect-A Tribute to American Law Enforcement.

  5. Successfully lobbied for a federal law requiring all American flags to be lowered to half-staff on "Peace Officers Memorial Day" (May 15th each year).

    Wallace A. Melson Public Safety Center

    Headquarters of the Ocean View Police Department

     On September 19, 2007 the Ocean View’s new Police Building was Dedicated and placed “In Service” to the citizens of the Town of Ocean View, Delaware.

      The building was named in Memory of their first and only Police line of duty death in town history. Patrolman Wallace Melson the town’s Hero, whom after all these years, they have not forgotten.

      Chief Kenneth McLaughlin, spent four long years, researching and visiting approximately 50 Police and Correctional facilities to ensure he did not miss anything when planning and developing the design plans, to ensure his new station was a state of the art and secure place not only for his personnel but also for the citizens of the town. Ocean View’s new police station employs many high tech and functional designs that would make a large scale police headquarters envious. He has left no stone unturned in his planning for now and well into the future of the community.

     The new station has built in room and plans for future needs of the department. The architectural design blends well with the look and feel of the community it serves. An excellent tribute to a local hero and for all of those who have served, are now serving and those who will serve as a member of the Ocean View Police Department.

    K9 dies In the Line of Duty

    Caro, a 5-year old German Shepherd police dog, died July 21, 2006 from complications relating to heat exposure. On that date, the K9 Officer left Caro in his cruiser with the air conditioner running while he was processing a prisoner. The officer made several checks on Caro. During the officer’s check on Caro that afternoon, he found that the cruiser’s engine had stalled, and Caro was unresponsive. Caro was rushed to the local vetrinarian, where he was pronounced deceased.

    Chief McLaughlin contacted the Delaware State Police, who launched an investigation into the Caro’s death. At the same time, Chief McLaughlin launched an internal investigation. Both investigations returned results that Caro’s death was accidental.

    At the time, the Ocean View Police were using a temporary barracks while their new station was being constructed. Due to their not being any kennels inside, or outside, Caro had to be kept in the cruiser with the A/C on, which was more comfortable for Caro. In addition, with narcotics evidence being stored inside the barracks, continuous exposure would have desensitized Caro’s ability to properly search

    Caro will be missed by everyone at the Ocean View Police Department, and the community. During his three years on the force in Ocean View, Caro had been used for searching for illegal drugs, tracking criminals, and assisting to find lost children and alzheimer’s patients. Caro’s presence made the Ocean View community feel safe, knowing that his presence deterred drug dealers and other criminals from staying in the Ocean View area.

     
    OCEAN VIEW POLICE DEPARTMENT
