BRISTOL, Conn. (WTNH) — Saturday marks two years since Bristol Sgt. Alex Hamzy and Lt. Dustin DeMonte were killed in the line of duty on Oct. 12, 2022.

The Bristol Police Memorial Committee preserved the doors of a cruiser, which was unveiled in the police department’s lobby Friday morning. It will be a permanent display honoring and remembering Hamzy and DeMonte.
