“We will never forget,” the department wrote in a Facebook post.
At 8:03 p.m. Sunday, exactly three years after Sherrard was killed, the department’s dispatch center broadcast a radio message to all police and fire channels to call for a moment of silence.
In September, Richardson announced it was renaming a seven-mile portion of U.S. 75 running from the Bush Turnpike to just south of Spring Valley Road the Officer David Sherrard Memorial Highway. Private donations funded new signs near the northern and southern borders of the highway as it runs through Richardson.
