It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of former Denver Police Officer Andrew Duarte.

Officer Duarte was serving as a West York Borough, Pennsylvania Police Patrolman when he tragically lost his life in the line of duty on Saturday, February 22, 2025, while responding to an active shooter situation at the UPMC Memorial Hospital. He was 30 years old. 

Prior to serving with the West York Borough Police, Officer Duarte served the City and County of Denver from 2017 to 2022.

He showed great bravery, and we were honored that he was a supporter of the Denver Police Museum.
