Today, we pause to remember Constable Earl C. Wisler, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty 97 years ago.
Constable Wisler succumbed to injuries he received while attempting to arrest three suspects on a warrant. He had gone to a pool hall at North Carolina Avenue and Mediterranean Avenue, where he located the men in a back room. When he attempted to place them under arrest, he was attacked. His firearm was taken from him and used to beat him. He was transported to a local hospital, where he died several hours later.
Constable Wisler was a military veteran and was survived by his wife and four children.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Constable Wisler’s family. We honor his service and sacrifice and remember the life he gave in service to others.
End of Watch: September 1, 1929
