🖤💙🖤

It is with profound sadness that the Fairfield Police Department announces the passing of Officer John French.

Officer French was more than a member of our department, he was a dedicated public servant, a trusted colleague, and a valued friend. Throughout his service, he demonstrated an unwavering commitment to protecting our community and serving others with professionalism, integrity, and compassion. His loss is deeply felt by every member of our department and by those who had the privilege of knowing him.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Officer French's family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. We ask our community to keep them, along with our officers and professional staff, in your thoughts and prayers as we grieve this tremendous loss together.

As we mourn the loss of Officer French, we also celebrate a life dedicated to service. His commitment to this profession and to the people of Fairfield will not be forgotten, and his legacy will continue to inspire those who serve alongside us.

On behalf of the men and women of the Fairfield Police Department, thank you for your continued support, prayers, and respect for Officer French's family and our department during this time of mourning.

Five years ago today, Officer Scott Dawley made the ultimate sacrifice while serving his community.

On August 3, 2021, Scott was killed in the line of duty in a car accident while responding to a shots-fired call. Though he wore the badge with honor, those who knew him remember so much more than the uniform. Scott was a devoted husband, a loving father, a treasured son, and a loyal friend whose impact continues to be felt every day.

Today, we honor his life, his service, and the legacy of love he left behind.

As we remember Scott, please keep his family and friends in your prayers—especially his children and his wife, Marissa. May they be surrounded by peace, comfort, and the reminder that Scott's sacrifice will never be forgotten.

STATEMENT by the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association on today’s ICE activity and political reaction in Minneapolis

(St. Paul, Minn.) Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association Interim Executive Director David Titus said,
“The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association stands firmly behind law enforcement officers, accountability under the law, and the safety of every Minnesota community.

Irresponsible, reckless rhetoric from political leaders attacking law enforcement has real and dangerous consequences for officers on the street. When officers are vilified, demonized, or used as political props, it fuels hostility, emboldens bad actors, and puts lives directly at risk.

MPPOA calls on leaders to stop the inflammatory language and respect the legal and investigative process.”
