| In Memoriam
Charles E. Attig Jr. – Patrolman
Officer Charles Attig, Jr. started duty with the Shamokin Dam Police Department in 1980 and served with distinction. On the evening of Friday June 10th, 1983 Patrolman Attig was shot and killed on North Old Trail in Shamokin Dam Borough by a suspect who was seeking revenge for being issued a speeding ticket earlier that evening. The suspect had received the ticket from then Chief Of Police, Warren Humphrey, and returned to the area with a rifle in search of the Chief. The suspect instead found Patrolman Attig, who was issuing a littering citation to a motorist at the time. The suspect opened fire on Patrolman Attig while he was seated in his patrol car, striking him three times. Patrolman Attig was 25 years old at the time of his death and was survived by his parents, a brother and a sister. Attig Park, off 8th Avenue in the Borough, was dedicated to his honor and memory by the Borough Council and a grateful community.
