Fund Honoring Fallen Cop Makes Donation To Manchester PD

MANCHESTER, CT — A fund set up in memory of a fallen police officer has made a donation to the Manchester Police Department.

MPD officials this week accepted a $3,000 gift from the Lovett Family and the Ben Lovett Memorial Fund.
The fund was set up to assist first responder organizations in memory of Ben Lovett, a Vernon native and South Windsor police officer who died in 2021 from injuries sustained in an off-duty crash in Tolland when his motorcycle was hit by a drunken driver.

Lovett worked with Manchester police as a member of the East Central Narcotics Task Force.
