    The Laurence Doten Story
    Jul 14 2026
    On August 24, 1930, U.S. Immigrant Inspector Laurence E. Doten from Minnesota made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting America's northern border. Assigned to inspect passengers aboard a Canadian National Railway train near Emo, Ontario, Inspector Doten was unexpectedly confronted by fugitive Emerick Franette and was mortally wounded in the ensuing attack. Fellow Inspector Lawrence C. Jones was also killed. Though nearly a century has passed, Inspector Doten's bravery, professionalism, and devotion to duty continue to inspire those who serve on the front lines of border security today.

    With the help of Laurence's grandson Roland Doten, granddaughter Jody Wilson, and Retired Immigrations Agent in Charge Bob Tuttle, we are honored to share his story. Check out photos and more on his memorial page at www.officerdownmemorialpodcast.com/laurence-doten.

    Laurence Doten answered his country's call not once, but twice—first as a soldier on the battlefields of France, and later as a United States Immigration Inspector along the Canadian border.

    While his service is over, our duty to remember is not.

  • The Lloyd Feind Story

    The Lloyd Feind Story
    May 18 2026
    Lloyd Feind was a veteran Sergeant with the Rochester Police Department in southeast Minnesota. Standing 6-foot-4, he could appear intimidating at first glance — but family, friends, and fellow officers knew him as a gentle giant with a kind heart. Law enforcement ran deep in the Feind family. Lloyd's brother also served as a patrolman with the department, and his uncle was a police detective. Sergeant Feind was known as the kind of officer who stopped to talk with everyone. He was deeply involved in the neighborhoods he served, active in his church, and well known for hosting annual block parties in his community. He believed policing was about relationships, compassion, and being present for the people he served. In the early morning hours while working the night shift, Lloyd was inside the department's communications center when he suffered a heart attack. He was transported to Mayo Clinic Saint Marys Hospital, where he later suffered a second heart attack. Before his passing at 5:00 a.m. that Friday morning, Lloyd was able to speak with his wife and share his final wishes with her. Sergeant Feind was 48 years old. He had served with the Rochester Police Department for 16 years, including eight years as a sergeant. He was survived by his wife and three children. ​ This episode is sponsored by our friends at Law Enforcement Labor Services, Inc. NOTE: This episode also explores the often-overlooked dangers of heart disease in law enforcement and the impact cumulative stress can have on officers over the course of a career. Lloyd's story serves as a reminder that the stress, irregular sleep, trauma exposure, and demands of the profession can take a serious toll on both physical and mental health. We also discuss practical steps officers, supervisors, and agencies can take to promote wellness, reduce long-term stress, and help keep law enforcement personnel healthy both on and off duty. If you are a law enforcement officer, dispatcher, firefighter, or first responder, please take your cardiac health seriously. Regular physicals, stress management, sleep, fitness, nutrition, and early screening can save lives.

  • The Robert Moravec Story

    The Robert Moravec Story
    Apr 27 2026
    In 1956, law enforcement in Le Sueur County looked very different than it does today. At that time, the entire sheriff's office was made up of just two men—Sheriff Pat W. Smith Sr., and one deputy: Robert "Bob" Moravec. Bob Moravec was more than just a deputy. A proud Marine Corps veteran, he had served his country before joining the sheriff's office in 1948. Known throughout the community for his character and presence, Bob was widely respected—a local hero in every sense. He was also an exceptional athlete, having played football for the Quantico Marines Devil Dogs and even earning an invitation to try out for the New York Giants. But in the early morning hours of April 27th, 1956, tragedy struck. While en route between calls, Deputy Moravec's patrol vehicle suddenly left the roadway. It slammed into a concrete culvert and rolled into a ditch, killing him instantly. In the aftermath, investigators discovered green paint transfer on his new (2 week old) 1956 Oldsmobile—raising troubling questions about whether another vehicle had been involved. Despite those questions, no definitive answers were ever found. Deputy Moravec's death left a profound impact on the department, the community, and most importantly, his family. He was survived by his young wife Kathleen and their two daughters, Sharon and Michelle. With the support of Brett Mason and Bob's daughter Sharon, we are honored to share his story. Because remembering Deputy Robert Moravec is more than looking back—it's a commitment to ensure his service and sacrifice are never forgotten. ​This episode is sponsored by our friends at Law Enforcement Labor Services, Inc.
