LET THEM WEAR PINS!!!

As of September 7th the Police officers of North Saint Paul, MN will no longer be allowed to wear their memorial pins to honor slain Officer Richard Crittenden. This group was made to show how many of us believe that the police should be allowed to wear their memorial pins for The late officer Richard Crittenden. It is unfair the city will not allow them to show their support. By joining this group you believe that they should be allowed to wear their pins on their uniforms. If enough people join and comment I promise I will take all your comments to city hall. Feel free to leave stories, pictures, or just have something to say about this unfair act. Let your voice be heard!
Please help us get as many to join. The more we have, the higher chance they have to wear the pins.

Renaming Highway 36 in honor of Officer Joe Bergeron
On May 19, 2015 Governor Mark Dayton signed a bill into law designating Trunk Highway 36 in Maplewood to be named “Sergeant Joseph Bergeron Memorial Highway.”
The bill, authored in the Senate by Sen. Chuck Wiger, DFL-Maplewood, and in the House by Rep. Leon Lillie, DFL-North St. Paul, will make the Maplewood portion of the highway a memorial to Bergeron, who was a veteran officer of the Maplewood Police Department, with 26 years of service when he was shot and killed on May 1, 2010 responding to a carjacking.
When Wiger presented the Senate version of the bill at the Capitol March 25, Bergeron’s widow Gail and two teenage daughters were looking on.
Gail said at the time that she and her girls prefer to grieve in private, but added that the highway memorial is a welcomed tribute.
“Joe was a real humble guy. He didn’t need to be recognized, and that’s kind of how we are as a family,” she said.
“Even though for us, as a family, it’s kind of like ripping that wound open again, if it helps people remember, then the girls and I will do what we can to keep it in the forefront of people’s minds.”
Seated next to Gail during the hearing, Maplewood Police Chief Paul Schnell spoke on the impact Bergeron’s death had on the community and the police force.
“We’ll never forget the sacrifice of Bergeron and his family,” he said, noting the highway memorial would serve “as an active reminder” to all who drive along it.
The legislation is entered into law as Chapter 46, SF 1854.
Marking the one-year anniversary of Bergeron’s death, a bronze statue memorial and plaque were unveiled outside City Hall. A couple months later, his name was added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial wall in Washington, D.C.
And, on May 1, marking the five-year anniversary of his death, the Maplewood Police Department officially retired Bergeron’s badge, number 357.
