DART PD presented with fallen officer 'honor chair'

A San Antonio nonprofit organization that honors fallen first responders by building special wooden chairs in their honor has presented a chair to the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Police Department.

The organization, Saving a Hero's Place, presented the honor chair Friday, July 5, at DART Police Headquarters for DART Police Officer Brent Thompson, with Thompson's family in attendance, as a way to keep Thompson's memory alive and to "save their place" at roll call.
