Torrance MacMillan.
Officer Torrance MacMillan succumbed to a gunshot wound when he was shot as he and another officer raided a restaurant for illegal moonshine. When he told the other officer to call for a patrol wagon, the 53-year-old proprietor produced a 10-gauge shotgun from behind a counter and shot him in the abdomen. Officer Macmillan managed to return fire, killing the suspect. Officer MacMillan was a United States Army WWI veteran and had served with the Sault Ste. Marie Police Department for 1 year.

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.
Officer MacMillan gave the Sault Ste. Marie Police Department 1 year.
Thank you for your service to the Sault Sainte Marie community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
