PATROLMAN BORRELL DEAD

Albert L. Borrell, a patrolman in the Eastern District for the past five years, died last week [16 Feb 1919] at his home 1321 North Central Ave., after an illness of nine days, from pneumonia. A detail that left him wet and cold in late January gave him a cold from which he could not recover. Before long it had become worse turning to bronchitis and then to the pneumonia that took his life.

He was 32 years old and joined the Police Department on 13 February 1914 his death came two days after the fifth anniversary of his connection with the Baltimore Police Department. Last March Borrell resigned from the department to take up government work, but after a week returned to policing

Baltimore Police Historical Soicety

The Baltimore Police Historical Society put this and other articles on this website together using research from old newspapers, old books, photos, and artifacts.

We rely more heavily on books written at or near the time of the incident we are researching or writing about. We do not put too much weight on the more recently written history books, or books that have been written with a biased opinion or agenda.

We try not to tell our readers what to think about our past as much as we tell a story with hopes of our readers forming their own opinions. That said, ever so often we come across a story that to us is so exciting that we might express that in our writings. but we hope our readers will form their own opinions based on the information written at the time, not information that was added years later using a filtered history that has been twisted and pulled in the direction of various storytellers that may or may not have had their own agendas.
