SALT LAKE CITY Two names were added to Utah Law Enforcement Memorial on Thursday. Today, Franklin Schaerrer and Nate Lyday are chilling examples of the reality of the commitment which lies within each of these fine officers with us today and those across our great state and our great nation, Ogden Police Chief Eric Young said during the annual Utah Law Enforcement Memorial Service on the west grounds of the Utah State Capitol.
Lyday, who had been with the Ogden Police Department for just 15 months, was shot and killed on May 28, 2020, in the line of duty while responding to a domestic violence call. His father, Andrew Lyday, said even though it has almost been a year since his son s death, it still seems like yesterday.
