Today marks eight years since Officer Amy Sorrells Caprio’s passing. In her memory, officers will wear mourning bands on their badges.
On May 21, 2018, Officer Caprio, 29, responded to a call regarding a suspicious vehicle in the Perry Hall area. A second call confirmed that a home was being burglarized by four suspects associated with the suspicious vehicle, which was later determined to be stolen. When Officer Caprio arrived on scene, she exited her vehicle and ordered the driver to exit the Jeep Wrangler. The driver accelerated, fatally striking Officer Caprio.
Officer Caprio was assigned to Precinct 8 in Parkville at the time of her passing. She served with the Department for nearly four years. Her sacrifice will always be remembered. Her name, alongside other fallen heroes, is inscribed on the monument at Patriot Plaza in Towson.
