 The city of Haverhill, Massachusetts, is in mourning after the untimely and tragic death of Officer Katelyn Tully, a beloved member of the Haverhill Police Department. The Haverhill Police Patrolman's Association confirmed the news late Friday night and posted a heartfelt remembrance that encapsulated the department's and the community's deep sorrow.

Early Friday morning, news of Officer Tully's death spread when a fatality was reported on Bartlett Street. Few details were initially provided, but just before noon, the Patrolman's Association confirmed it with a somber photograph of a Haverhill police badge with a mourning band on it—a common way for law enforcement to express their sorrow at the loss of one of their own.

In a statement to WHAV, the Patrolman's Association expressed their profound sadness over the loss of their friend and colleague:

Today, our sister-in-arms died away. She was a loyal officer who made a significant impact on everyone she worked with. She was not simply a coworker; she was family. Her quiet courage, unwavering honesty, and unwavering dedication to her profession set a powerful example for all of us. When others needed her most, she never gave up and approached every duty with courage and poise.

The union, the city, and the office of Essex County District Attorney Paul F. Tucker first kept the officer's identify a secret as the investigation went on. She has already been identified by authorities as Katelyn Tully, a beloved cop who was adored and revered by everyone for her dedication to her job and community.

There is no evidence, according to officials, that Tully's death was the result of foul play. In accordance with protocol, city officials directed inquiries about specifics to the office of the district attorney. Tucker's Chief of Staff Sharyn Lubas emphasized that the death did not appear suspicious, but the investigation is still ongoing.

"As is the case with any death inquiry, our office and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner are still examining it," Lubas said. "We do not reveal decedent information when a death occurs in a home and is not suspicious."

Union members described Officer Tully as a committed, altruistic, and compassionate public servant whose influence extended far beyond the police station.

She was "caring, sensitive, and sympathetic - traits that characterized her both in and out of uniform," according to the Patrolman's Association. She exemplified all the qualities we value in a great officer, including compassion, listening, and assistance. The void left by her disappearance is beyond words, but her legacy lives on in the hearts and lives she touched. We shall never be able to forget her.
