George S. Bell served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Patrolman George Bell was shot and killed by a migrant worker when he and another officer attempted to arrest him for the murder of a housemaid that occurred a week earlier. Patrolman Bell and another officer were called to a home on Burley Lane when residents spotted the suspect in the area. A short time later, a state trooper shot and killed the suspect when the suspect opened fire on him in a field near a migrant workers' camp. Patrolman Bell was a United States Marine Corps World War II veteran and served with the Plymouth Police Department for only three weeks.

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 Bell served with the Plymouth Police Department.
Thank you for your service to the Plymouth community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
