Auburn police union marks two-year anniversary of line-of-duty deaths

Auburn, N.Y. — Auburn Police Union Local 195 posted a message today marking two years since the deaths of two officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty: Onondaga County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant Michael “Hootch” Hoosock, badge No. 1703, and Syracuse Police Department Officer Michael Jensen, badge No. 156.

The union said, “Not a day goes by that they are not remembered. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness continue to inspire all of us who wear the badge. They gave everything to protect their communities, and that will never be forgotten. We honor their legacy, we stand with their families, and we carry their memory with us every single day. Gone, but never forgotten. 💙 Godspeed.” End of Watch 04/14/2024.
