Death of Sudbury police officer led to stiffer penalties for suspects who flee
In the early morning hours of July 28, 1999, McDonald was fatally injured when he was struck by a stolen vehicle that was fleeing police. A 12-year veteran, he was survived by his wife, who was also a police officer, as well as his mother, brothers and sister. 24 years ago, Sergeant Rick McDonald made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our community. He was & forever will be a hero in life, not death. Today & every day, we honour & remember Sergeant McDonald.
“Throughout his career, Rick's determination to fight for officer rights and his strong opinions were put to good use as he spent many years on the board of the Sudbury Police Association, which included two terms as president,” the police service said. “At the time of his death, Rick was serving as president of the Police Association.”
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.
In May 2015, GSPS introduced the Sergeant Richard McDonald Memorial Award, “which is presented to a Member of our Police Service in recognition of their enthusiasm and positive attitude that promotes a culture that significantly motivates Members, fosters team spirit and supports Our Shared Commitment to Community Safety and Well-being.”
