Today on DelmarvaLife –
It’s been a year of trying to heal after Corporal Keith Heacook was killed in the line of duty. Katie visits the Delmar Police Department to see how the tragedy has changed the force.

We’re also honoring the memory of Delaware State Police Corporal Stephen Ballard. Today marks five years since he was also killed in the line of duty. We revisit the day we had the honor of speaking with Corporal Ballard’s widow.

We revisit the moment we learned about COPS, Concerns of Police Survivors. We explain how this vital resource, born right here on Delmarva, works to rebuild shattered lives.
