Roll of Honor
Incident
Police Officer David Herring succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning while working a uniformed, off-duty security assignment in Miami's Design District. Because of the cold weather, Officer Herring had the windows of his patrol car closed and left the motor running in a parking lot across from 155 NE 40th Street. A faulty exhaust system caused carbon monoxide to seep into the car. Officer Herring's body was discovered the next morning by a citizen. The vehicle he was using was scheduled to be taken out of service two weeks later. Officer Herring had served with the Miami Police Department for four years.
