NOTTINGHAM, MD—The Baltimore County Police Department is remembering Officer Amy Sorrells Caprio on the seventh anniversary of her death in the line of duty.

In Officer Caprio’s memory, officers with the Baltimore County Police Department are wearing 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 and fatally struck Officer Caprio.

At the time of her death, Officer Caprio was assigned to Precinct 8 – Parkville. She had been a member of the Department for nearly four years. Officer Amy Caprio’s name, along with the names of other fallen heroes, is inscribed on a monument at Patriot Plaza in Towson.

Today, we remember @BaltCoPolice Officer Amy Sorrells Caprio and recognize her service and sacrifice for Baltimore County.

Officer Caprio was a community hero and we will always champion her commitment, family, and legacy. Our hearts are with her family and loved ones. https://t.co/a420zcLmyq
