Maurice F. Harlow served in the U.S. Army.
Patrolman Maurice Harlow was shot and killed when he responded to a complaint about a loud party at 100th Street and Third Avenue in Manhattan, New York. When Patrolman Harlow arrived at the scene of the noise complaint, he encountered a parolee whom he had arrested one month earlier. The suspect opened fire on Patrolman Harlow, mortally wounding him in the abdomen. Patrolman Harlow was able to return fire and shot the subject, who died of his wounds two weeks later. The subject's brother later killed Patrolman Fred Hirsch of the Nassau County Police Department on May 6th, 1931. Patrolman Harlow was a U.S. Army veteran of WWI. He served with the New York City Police Department for one year and was assigned to the 13th Precinct, the present-day 23rd Precinct.

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 Harlow gave the New York City Police Department 1 year.
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.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
