Bernard Livingston Carter.
Pilot Officer Bernard Carter and a civilian observer were killed in a helicopter crash while assisting with the control of a riot at a local junior high school. He had radioed in that the riot seemed to be subsiding and that he was going to clear the area. A call came in minutes later that there had been a helicopter crash. Officers arrived at South Carefree Circle and discovered that it was the police helicopter that had crashed. Officer Carter was a United States Army Korean War veteran and had served with the Colorado Springs Police Department for ten years.

In tribute
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.
Pilot Officer Carter gave the Colorado Springs Police Department 10 years.
Thank you for your service to the Colorado Springs community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
