National Police Week Dedication

As part of National Police Week (May 10-16), the Red Wing Police Department remember Red Wing's fallen officers, Chief James Daily and Officer John Peterson.

On January 15, 1907, Chief Daily and Officer Peterson were shot and subsequently died from their injuries on January 16, 1907.

The officers were shot while responding to a mental health call at the Sibley Hotel, now the site of Gernentz Auto.

In collaboration with Greg Gernentz, a memorial plaque is now displayed at Gernentz Auto.

The public is invited to a dedication ceremony on site at 328 Bush Street, on Thursday, May 14, at noon.
