CLEVELAND — It has been almost one month since Cleveland Police Officer Jamieson Ritter was killed in the line of duty . Now, friends, family and police officers are vowing to continue his legacy.“It hits you hard, it really does,” said Third District Commander Robert Tucker.
“We’re going to keep his spirit alive here by being better police officers, better people,” he added.“When people hear a police officer was killed, to the officers, it’s not a police officer, it’s their friend. That’s very tough for them because, first and foremost, it’s a friend who was murdered that happened to be a police officer,” said Tucker.
Schwab described Ritter as clever, intelligent, and charismatic. He loved his family, friends and country.“We’re excited to kind of make that a forward-looking thing as opposed to just kind of packaging up this whole last month amongst ourselves,” said Schwab.
