Recently-retired Pikeville Police Officer Aaron Thompson noticed that one of Pikeville’s fallen police officers who died nearly a century ago, was not listed on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Alonzo “Lon” Robinson died in May 1929 after being shot in the line of duty. When Thompson found out Robinson’s name was not listed with the law enforcement memorial, he began researching Robinson’s service to his community and now, thanks to those efforts, Robinson’s name will soon be listed with the memorial.

Thompson was recognized by the Pikeville City Commission last week for his work in honoring Robinson’s service and his memory. Thompson retired from the Pikeville Police Department last year.
