Rest in peace brother.

God it has been a rough 2 months for Maryland officers. This makes 5 since August 20th. I pray that all my brothers and sisters wear their seat belts and drive defensively. Make good decisions based upon sound reasoning and try not to let emotion control your driving. For the most part, we can control our destiny while driving. We can decide to respond 10 mph slower to calls, take less risks when entering intersections, decide not to pursue for non violent offenses. Too many officers die from traffic collisions in this country. Please stay safe out there everyone.

Would be curious to see the outcome of the investigation on this. Such a violent accident.

1st report from accident recreation - civilian in SUV crossed several lanes of traffic after making a left turn, striking the cruiser and driving it, driver side first, into a utility pole. Officer Bouden was NOT wearing a seatbelt.


The civilian driver will be charged (not sure with what yet).


For ALL of you in blue, it may be uncomfortable as hell, but wear your damned seat belts!!!!!!!!

Here is a picture from the accident kinda hard to see but I think the outcome would have been the same wether he was wearing a seat belt or not





The rescue engine with the 40 on the back is from my station


R.I.P. Sir

Curiously it is not being honored as a LOD death. Not sure if the family made that decision or the department though.

Maybe because he was off duty at the time of the crash, that's the only reason I could think of
