It’s almost been 20 years since the death of Constable Garrett.
The former constable was killed in the line of duty after he responded to a break-and-enter on May 15, 2004.
Despite being fatally wounded, Cobourg Police say he was able to shoot his assailant, thus interrupting a chain of events that may have had tragic consequences in Cobourg. According to police, he died as he lived, being the first officer on the scene.
Locals are encouraged to attend a celebration ceremony on May 15 at Chris Garrett Memorial Park in Cobourg.
