Relatives of the first Kent Police officer to be killed on duty more than 150 years ago have attended a rededication of his grave. Israel May died on 24 August 1873 after being beaten with his own truncheon in Snodland. Tommy Atkins, a well-known adversary of PC May's, was sentenced to 20 years for his murder.

DeKalb County Police Sgt. Tre Jones knew he would pick David Rose to lead his police academy class on day one, a decision that usually takes four to six weeks to make. What he didn't know about were Rose's swift moves on the basketball court.
