The Blue Line Network would like to take a moment to remember Cpl. Keith Heacook of the Delmar Police Department, who was killed in the line of duty.

On April 25, 2021, Cpl. Heacook responded to a violent assault in progress, stepping in to protect a couple being severely attacked. During that response, Cpl. Heacook was brutally assaulted and suffered fatal injuries. After fighting for his life, Cpl. Heacook passed away on April 28, 2021.

Cpl. Heacook will always be remembered as a true hero, brave, selfless, and unwavering in his commitment to protecting others. His service, sacrifice, and dedication to his community will never be forgotten.

Even though it has been 5 years since Cpl. Heacook was killed in the line of duty, the void felt in the community remains every single day.

The Blue Line Network will always be here to continue supporting his family, fellow officers, and friends, ensuring that his sacrifice is never forgotten.

Remembering Corporal Keith Heacook (written April 27th, 2023):

Two years ago this week time stood still as the devastating news from the town of Delmar spread across our corner of the world. People were checking in on one another and we were struggling to stay calm, as our first responders were being asked so many questions to which they had no answers. We cried, we prayed, and later that day, we gathered together in Delmar for a vigil I will never forget.

The next few days it felt as we were holding our breath, as our beloved Corporal Heacook fought for his life; the grim, stoic faces, devastating silence, and the heavy sadness felt as if it would smother us as we waited, still reeling from anger and grief. During the worst of times we saw the best in our community as strangers came together, businesses offered meals, and many of our leaders provided a calm, comforting voice in the storm. To just some of the people involved and affected by this horrific incident, I still wish you knew....

• how closely we held the Heacook family in our hearts and prayers, where even today, you occupy a special place in our lives,

• the extent of gratitude extended to our fire departments, emergency crews and medical teams first on the scene, who fought with everything they had save and care for Keith,

• how deeply we grieved with each and every member of the Delmar Police Department,

• we may not have said it then, but our hearts went out to the individuals who weren't seen, but who handled the frantic first response that Sunday, our dispatchers and telecommunications operators,

• how loved you were, Cpl. Keith Heacook; cherished by family and close friends, valued by your brothers and sisters in blue, respected and admired by so many.

In the following weeks, I often wondered if he was looking down and seeing how much of an impression he made on us; what a mark he left on this town and it's two counties. The impact his life had was immeasurable and profound, and two years later, it barely seems possible that someone like Keith left our world. Forever remembered; always honored; loved more than words can say. We miss you sir.

How is it possible to hold one's breath for three long days? We cried, prayed, tried to rationalize what had happened, waited, tried not to think the worst, and then suddenly, we faced the worst. Our hero, dearly loved husband, father, brother, son, friend, colleague, peacekeeper, guardian.... was gone. It was a jolt even more painful than the initial news on Sunday, and when given the opportunity to gather again in Delmar several days later, to honor our fallen hero arriving back home, we came out to stand together.

The Delmar Police Department lost one of their own that day, and a grief so painful it enveloped both states of Maryland and Delaware settled across our community. Love and appreciation for Corporal Keith Heacook was evident everywhere, affecting us all and spilling across the country. I remember thinking that I hoped our hero could look down and see the lives he had touched. Forever loved; always missed; continue resting in peace, sir.
