Retired Sgt. Frank Burns of the Cambridge Police passed away on January 31st. While
he had been retired for several years, there's no doubt that his death is related to a
line-of-duty shooting where he was hit with 5 rounds from a .357. Not only did Sgt.
Burns survive the shooting, he returned to full duty and served for many more years.
Frank was an "old school" cop in the best sense of the phrase. He was responsible for a good number of inmates serving serious time at Walpole and Cedar Junction. He also knew the value of building relationships in the community long before the concept of Community Policing was in vogue. You didn't want to be on his bad side, but if he liked you then you couldn't ask for a better friend.
Interment Cambridge Cemetery. In lieu of flowers please send donations in Frank's memory to the American Heart Association, 20 Speen St. Framingham, MA 01701.
