In Memoriam: It is with deep regret that the Boston Police Department announces the sudden passing of active-duty Boston Police Officer
Pierce Fitzgerald Norton.
Officer Norton was appointed to the Boston Police Department on December 9, 2013 and, after graduating from the Boston Police Academy, he served as a Probationary Officer assigned to Districts B-3, A-1 and D-4. He was then assigned as a Permanent Boston Police Officer to District A-1. In 2018 Officer Norton was assigned to the Citywide Bicycle Unit where he was last assigned. Officer Norton received numerous commendations for his dedicated service during his career, including praise for his response to quality of life concerns. Officer Norton was highly regarded by those he worked with, his supervisors and all that knew him, both within the Department and by those he served.
Officers Norton will be greatly missed by his friends and colleagues here at the Boston Police Department as we send our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones during this tremendously sad and difficult time. As you go about your day please keep Officer Norton and his family in your thoughts.
