The Montgomery Police Department (MPD) is in mourning following the recent death of one of its own. 

An announcement by the MPD stated that Corporal David M. Hathcock passed away on Feb. 22. 

"He dedicated his life to watch over the city of Montgomery and the citizens that we cherish," said the announcement. "On and off-duty, he honored his oath to live a life that was exemplary to all. He was courageous calm in the face of danger and honest in thought and deed."

The announcement stated that Hathcock joined the MPD in January 2006, marking 20 years in the department. 

The cause of death was not specified, though a Gofundme page set up for his family said that it was unexpected. He was a husband and was a father to two daughters of ages 12 and 15.
