Funeral services are set to be held this week for fallen Bradley Police Sergeant Marlene Rittmanic, who was shot and killed in the line of duty while responding to a noise complaint at a Kankakee County hotel last week.
As the police department in Bradley, Illinois, said goodbye to one of their own, the search continues for a man police say is connected to shooting an officer whom friends say loved her job. NBC 5's Chris Coffey reports.
Two people were arrested in connection with the shooting, which also critically injured a second officer. The Kankakee County State’s Attorney has requested that federal prosecutors pursue the death penalty for both. In a statement, family and Bradley police called the law enforcement officer a"leader in community policing" who would"work together to find a solution that produced the least disruption in people’s lives."
"...She believed – and stated, 'just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.' Meaning – if you have statutory grounds to arrest a person, tow their car, or fine them, doesn’t mean you should. If she pulled over a single mother without a $1 to her name but clearly had violations, she would consider the long-term consequences of creating more debt to someone that is already impoverished," the statement read.
While Rittmanic was recognized as Law Enforcement Officer of the Year in 2020, she was also a published poet, amateur photographer and film producer for family, police and community events. She is also remembered as an avid dog rescuer.
