Dallas police and firefighters killed in the line of duty will soon be memorialized with street signs in locations throughout the city.On Thursday, the city installed two street sign toppers honoring Officer William Riddell and Firefighter John Dardeman. They lost their lives in separate incidents that happened to be close together.The display includes their name, rank, and the date of their line of duty death.
Officer Riddell was the first Dallas police officer killed in the line of duty on June 17, 1892. He and his partner were trying to serve a warrant. The 55-year-old had a wife and seven children. The Dallas Police Department managed to find one of his descendants – Officer Kyle Koiner."Since I was a child, I’ve wanted nothing more than to be a police officer. Just like most, I played with police toys and cars, dressing up as a police officer for Halloween," he said.
