Massachusetts police officer who died suddenly and unexpectedly remembered for work, love of Special Olympics
A Massachusetts police officer died suddenly over the weekend according to his department and an obituary.
The Malden Police Department has announced the passing of Lieutenant Scott Carroll, who died unexpectedly on Sunday at the age of 56.
The department described him as a dedicated professional and respected leader who served with integrity and pride, joining the ranks in 2000 after honorably serving in the US Marine Corps. He progressed through the ranks, becoming a sergeant in 2014, and lieutenant in 2023, contributing to their criminal investigation and special operations units.
According to an obituary, Carroll had an amazing ability to talk to and help people. It was the part of the job he loved most. He volunteered his time with the Special Olympics and served on the Honor Guard for the police department during parades, special events and to honor fallen officers. He had worked with the SWAT team for many years and more recently was a Physical Training Instructor with the Massachusetts Criminal Justice Training Council at the Lynnfield Police Academy.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate a Mass of Christian Burial at the Immaculate Conception Church, 600 Pleasant Street, Malden on Friday, November 8th at 10:00 am. Go directly to church. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Scott’s memory may be made to the Special Olympics: https://support.specialolympics.org/a/massachusetts
