WALDORF, Md. – Today we pause to remember PFC Dennis L. Riley, #49, who died in the line of duty on Jan. 11, 1977.
PFC Riley was killed in a crash at the intersection of Maryland Route 228 and U.S. Route 301 in Waldorf.
As he waited for a traffic light to change, a tractor-trailer fuel-tanker skidded to a stop and overturned on his cruiser, killing him instantly.
PFC Riley was survived by a wife and four children.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Riley family, today and always.
Never forget our fallen law enforcement heroes. RIP.
