  8. Fallen Hero Officer Amy Sorrells Caprio Is Remembered

Fallen Hero Officer Amy Sorrells Caprio is remembered

May 20, 2023

ORIGINAL MAY 21, 2023

Baltimore County Police Officers are wearing mourning bands on their badges today in memory of a fallen hero.

On May 21, 2018, Officer Amy Sorrells Caprio, 29,  responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle in the Perry Hall area of the Parkville Precinct. A second call confirmed that a home was being burglarized by four suspects associated with the suspicious vehicle, which was later determined to be a stolen Jeep Wrangler. When she arrived and located the vehicle, she got out of her police car and ordered the driver to exit the vehicle. Instead, the driver accelerated and fatally struck Officer Caprio.

Officer Caprio was nearly a four-year veteran of the Department and was married. Officer Amy Caprio’s name, along with the names of other fallen heroes, is inscribed on a monument at Patriot Plaza in Towson.
