Baltimore, MD — Ten years after his death, the Baltimore County Police Department is honoring Police Officer First Class Jason Schneider by wearing memorial ribbon bars and mourning bands.
Schneider, a member of the Tactical Unit, was fatally shot on August 28, 2013, while assisting in a search and seizure operation. The mission was related to a previous shooting incident. After entering a home, the Tactical Unit found themselves under fire from armed suspects. Schneider was struck during the firefight and later died at the University of Maryland Medical Center’s R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.
A monument at Patriot Plaza in Towson now bears Schneider’s name, alongside other fallen officers of the Baltimore County Police Department. His sacrifice remains a solemn reminder of the risks law enforcement officers face.
