A PLACE OF HONOR

CAPTAIN LARRY BEERY

Captain Larry Beery gave his final full measure of devotion to the United States of America, State of Kansas and to the citizens of Kingman, Kansas on April 15th, 1973 when he was murdered in the line of duty. Captain Beery was making his routine checks of the downtown business district when he was confronted by an individual who took Beery’s duty weapon and shot him several times. The murder of Beery has never been solved and remains open as an active cold case. Captain Larry Beery is one of our Fallen Heroes and will remain in the hearts of his Brothers and Sisters of the thin blue line.
