Last Call for Fallen Special Agent Melissa S. Morrow


March 28, 2018

This is the last call made at the March 27, 2018 funeral of fallen FBI Special Agent Melissa S. Morrow. When a law enforcement officer dies, officers from his/her unit or department gather around a police radio. The radio operator calls to the deceased officer as if to contact them; thus, it is a final call to the officer. The radio operator ends the call by announcing that the officer has died in the line of duty.
