Bristol Police are planning to preserve the police cruiser in front of the police station that's been there since the deaths of Lt. Dustin DeMonte and Sgt. Alex Hamzy.
DeMonte and Hamzy were killed in the line of duty during an ambush-style attack on Oct. 12, 2022.
A police cruiser covered in memorabilia has been parked in front of the police station since the tragedy. Police say the cruiser will be wrapped and brought into their garage so it can be preserved.

Hamzy, 34, was born in Bristol and went to Bristol Eastern High School. He was with the Bristol Police Department for eight years and served as a longtime advisor for the Bristol Police Explorer Cadet Program.
