Fallen Deputies Remembered: Memorial Bench Dedicated to Harford Heroes

ABINGDON, MD — The two Harford County deputies killed in the line of duty have been memorialized with their own highway, and now they have their own bench nearby.

A stretch of MD 924 was designated "Heroes Highway" in early July by state and local officials.

On Thursday, the Harford County Sheriff's Office shared a photo of the latest tribute — a bench with the names of Senior Deputy Patrick Dailey and Deputy First Class Mark Logsdon inscribed on it.

Park View at Box Hill, a senior living development on Box Hill South Parkway, dedicated the bench.

Dailey, 52, and Logsdon, 43, were both killed on Feb. 10 while responding to a call about a wanted man, who was later fatally shot by law enforcement.

Dailey was shot inside Panera and Logsdon, who pursued the shooter, was struck by the gunman, who had hidden in his vehicle in the parking lot near Park View apartments.

Relatives and friends of Dailey, 52, and Logsdon, 43, were pictured at a dedication for the bench at Park View.

Also recently, a road was named for Dailey leading to the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company's station on MD 152 at MD 7. "Dailey Drive" pays tribute to the deputy, who joined the fire company at age 16 and was a lifetime member.
