The Town of Cochrane is lighting the Jack Tennant Memorial Bridge in blue in honour of the Calgary police officer killed in the line of duty on New Year's Eve.

The Town extends its condolences to family, friends, and colleagues of Sgt. Andrew Harnett of the Calgary Police Service.

"Our community relies on the dedication of law enforcement officers and all emergency responders to keep Cochrane safe,” says Mayor Jeff Genung. “This is a life needlessly taken; lighting our bridge in his honour shows our support, and I hope, serves as a reminder to everyone about the preciousness of life and the situations our first responders place themselves in on our behalf.”

Lights on the Jack Tennant Memorial Bridge will be blue starting tonight in honour of Sgt. Harnett.
