Neil Mason McIntyre.
Patrolman Neil McIntyre succumbed to injuries he received in a motorcycle crash on Eddy Street at the Grand Trunk Railway crossing on December 24, 1923. Patrolman McIntyre and another patrolman were en route to summon a priest and escort him to a local hospital at 4:00 a.m. While traveling north on Eddy Street, the other patrolman stopped for a train, but Patrolman McIntyre did not see him or the train and crashed into the other officer. Patrolman McIntyre suffered a fractured skull and passed away the next day at St. Joseph's Hospital. The other officer was not injured. Patrolman McIntyre was an Indiana National Guard veteran and had served with the South Bend Police Department for over three 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.
Patrolman McIntyre gave the South Bend Police Department 3 years.
Thank you for your service to the South Bend community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
