Death of Sudbury police officer led to stiffer penalties for suspects who flee
Twenty-three years ago on July 28, Sudbury police officer Sgt. Rick McDonald was killed in the line of duty.
Over the course of his career, McDonald served in several departments, including Uniform Patrol, Criminal Investigations Division, and the Traffic Management Unit. His commitment to the health, safety and prosperity of his fellow officers was a driving force in his career, GSPS said. Combined with new federal legislation passed in 2000, now people can face a number of consequences under the Criminal Code of Canada if convicted of motor vehicle-related offences.On Aug. 5, 2000, an Azilda park was christened the Rick McDonald Memorial Park to celebrate him and honour his love of baseball.
McDonald’s community-mindedness is also memorialized in the annual Rick & Dan McDonald Memorial Child and Family Foundation Annual Golf Tournament, which raises funds for local youth charities. A student bursary was also created in his memory.
