On this day in Baltimore Police History 1951 we lost our brother Officer Roland W. Morgan - Officer Morgan was struck and killed while getting out of his patrol car on the night of January 6, 1951 to use a call box for his hourly call-in at 11 p.m. call.

Investigation showed that he was struck by a car driven by John Caskie, Jr. Caskie was arrested at a nightclub several hours later, and was charged with manslaughter, driving under the influence and failure to stop after an accident. Officer Morgan was married and the father of three children. he served with the department for 6 years having been appointed on 5 Sept 44.


We his brothers and sisters of the Baltimore Police department will not let him be forgotten, as we take this time to remember him and thank him for his service and sacrifice.

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.
