Never forgotten

Last week, Inkster residents, elected officials, police officers and
family members gathered at the recreation center to commemo-
rate officers who died serving the community. The annual remem-
brance for Ofc. Daniel Dubiel, Sgt. Ira Parker and Ofc. Clay
Hoover who all died on July 9, 1987 after a horrific gunfight and
standoff at a Michigan Avenue motel has taken place every year
since their deaths. Also memorialized was Ofc. Kenneth
Woodmore who died in the line of duty on June 17, 1994.
Speakers reminded those in the audience of the dangers officers
face every day and the level of courage and dedication required
to protect and serve. Members of the Detroit Police Honor Guard,
