Hail Mary full of Grace....!
God bless our brother and his family.
How soon will you be able to identify the officer????
May God grant him and his family His peace. Anything we can do for the family?
At times like this we are all one. God bless his soul.
Nice kid, what a shame rest in peace
Worked with John for a bit. Good guy. My prayers are with him, his wife, and unborn child.
SOS will have something up and running soon. They've got some good people and good bosses there to run things.
Who's the officer?
Does Hurley have relatives on the job also?
John, you will be missed!!! I met you in the academy and from there your rocket took off. I've had the pleasure of working with you, which is to say we had a blast. You help to make work fun and you helped me as a fellow officer and as a person. Our prayers go out to you and your family! Thank you for blessing me with your prescence!
I worked with John in 008 and he was a great dude and awesome copper. I went to Washington with him and it was a blast. God bless and keep you.
Rest in peace "buckets" Hurley

My sincere condolences to his family, friends and co-workers... he is in a better place now- let's help his spouse & family in any way possible.
Just wondering, Does anybody know the location/city the accident occurred at?
Thanks.

Yes, Hurley was a great guy and good officer.
The Washington DC detail was a blast. And lets not forget all those VERY FRIENDLY FEMALE CPD OFFICERS THAT WENT TOO. Talk about an open door policy!
May God bless our sister officers. They are "midnight angels".
What happens in D.C. stays in D.C.
This is a memorial string.
And you thought to sully this string with that nonsense because...........?
Morons!
I think some police officers like to mourn death by celebrating the things that they have experienced during life. I don't think anybody posting here intently posted to this thread any thing that would degrade the memory or honor of John Hurley. He was a true gentleman, good officer and a over all great guy.
I think that some of us try to use either humor or pleasant memories as a way to help the depression that such a sudden death of a great young strong person.
Celebrating life and its experiences is a justifiable way to mourn a loss.
Not to dwell on it but "celebrating life" could have involved an amusing anecdote about John in D.C.
Referencing acts committed by female P.O.'s in D.C. is neither amusing nor appropriate in this thread no matter how you attempt to justify it.
No offense... but those "female officers" allowed the orgies in their rooms. But Washington DC or in a squad.. no difference. Most female officers act that way 24/7
No surprize

wow...is this a police site or a college dorm?
Ofcourse you would remain anonymous, where you can sit behind your computer and hide. Because your wife and childeren would be crushed to learn you too participate in those "orgies" or whatever else you imply w/your "open door policy". I did not want to vent here on this fallen officer's thread, but these comments are inappropiate here. And I, one of your co-workers, a female read this site. We need not be creating tension between the sexes now. Grow up! And for the few who decided to take the bait and keep responding to it...."no surprize", "24/7" shame on you. We are all blue, how dare you make those comments about female cpd. Oh, I'm sorry...it was all her, right? You did nothing but sit there. If you are that immature and feel the need to voice your affairs you are probably an insecure, unattractive man who rarely gets laid. Cuz those that do don't need to prove it! Thank yoo.
On 15 Sep, a true hero will be laid to rest. On that same day, the departments new SWAT Team will become fully operational. John was a member of that team. He always gave it 100%, and was so optimistic about life, his family and his new position. He should be an example to all of us. We lost a great member of our team & family. God bless.

I would like to give S.O.S.the credit they deserve.They gave John a send off that mirrors a City "IN THE LINE OF DUTY" funeral. The Dept woulndn't do much for John because he passed away off duty. Kudos to S.O.S. all the other members of Law enforcement that participated today. God bless you John! May you rest in peace.
John, you will be missed, "THE REAL POLICE ALWAYS ARE" GOD SPEED
