(NECN) - The Middlesex Sheriff’s Office is mourning the loss of Correction Officer Edward “Teddy” Dillon III, 27 of Lowell, who was killed in a crash in Billerica, Mass., early Wednesday morning.
Dillon was a member of the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office since 2008.
Dillon worked the 12 a.m.–8
a.m. shift at the Middlesex House of Correction in Billerica and his job
included conducting routine perimeter checks of the facility and nearby
Middlesex Sheriff’s Office property.
The Sheriff's office issued the following statement:
“My thoughts and prayers, as well as those of the entire Middlesex Sheriff’s Office, go out to Officer Dillon’s family, friends and colleagues. We know the work of correction officers is difficult and dangerous, but that does nothing to ease the pain and shock when we lose one of our own. The Middlesex Sheriff’s Office will work to ensure that our officers and the Dillon family have the support they need as we grieve Teddy’s passing.”
The Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and
Reconstruction section is conducting a review of this incident, which occurred early Wednesday morning near Treble Cove Rd.
