Incident

Patrolman Schrempf was killed after being dragged five blocks by a vehicle he and his partner had stopped running a red light at the corner of Miller Avenue and Pitkin Avenue in Brooklyn. Patrolman Schrempf reached inside to turn the ignition off when he saw the driver was drunk. As he did, the driver stepped on the accelerator and dragged Patrolman Schrempf 5 blocks before the car struck a City bus. Patrolman Schrempf and a 20-year old passenger in the vehicle were killed in the collision. The 21-year-old driver was convicted of two counts of first degree manslaughter and sentenced to 7.5 to 15 years. Patrolman Schrempf was a U.S Army veteran and had served with the New York City Police Department for three years. He was assigned to the Tactical Patrol Force.

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 Schrempf gave the New York City Police Department 3 years.
Thank you for your service to the New York community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
