Roll of Honor
Incident
Patrolman Mike Hogan was shot and killed after responding to a shoplifting call at the JC Penny store at 1060 MN-15 in Hutchinson. The suspect was detained by store security and held in the loss prevention office. As Patrolman Hogan was running the man's name, the suspect shot him in the head with a handgun he had managed to conceal from the security officers. The suspect then fled to a local fast-food restaurant, where he forced two people to drive him to Minneapolis. The suspect, 29, was eventually arrested on the day of Patrolman Hogan's funeral. The man was sentenced to life in prison. Officer Hogan was a United States Army Vietnam War veteran and had served with the Hutchinson Police Department for 15 years.
Survivors

Tributes
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Patrolman Hogan gave the Hutchinson Police Department 15 years.
Thank you for your service to the Hutchinson community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
