"Heroes Live Forever: Daniel Faulkner"--A Podcast Produced by Citizens Behind the Badge
Remembering and honoring a fallen law enforcement hero--Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner
On December 9, 1981, Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel “Danny” Faulkner was shot and killed during a traffic stop. His killer shot him in the back and then stood over him and fired four more shots while the 25-year-old officer desperately fought for his life. His killer’s guilt was beyond question. He was convicted and sentenced to death, but because of a flawed criminal justice system Danny’s assassin has remained alive and, unbelievably, has become a best-selling author and an international cause celebre. He will soon be forgotten, but the name of Daniel Faulkner will live on forever, engraved on the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C.
