WEDNESDAY 10/10: Dedication Service for Cape Charles Policeman Slain in 1918

Cape Charles Police Department and fellow law enforcement officers are holding a dedication service 2 p.m. Wednesday, October 10, at Central Park.

The event commemorates the service of Cape Charles police officer James A. Taylor, who died November 29, 1918 in the line of duty.

Taylor was killed while attempting to arrest a shooting suspect. He left behind a wife and eight children.

The Cape Charles Police Department notes that “Sgt. Taylor gave his life to protect the citizens of Cape Charles, and this would be even more tragic if he is forgotten.”
