A Memorial was dedicated at the Pasco Sheriff's Office remembering Captain Charles Bo Harrison on the 10th anniversary of the sad day when he was killed in the line of duty.

A new memorial with Harrison's likeness was dedicated at a ceremony at the District II Office, located at 36409 State Road 52 in Dade City. Members of the Pasco Sheriff's Office, former employees and family members were in attendance. Lieutenant Charles (Bo) Harrison was shot and killed while on surveillance near a nightclub on U.S. Route 301 in Lacoochee at approximately 0200 hours.
Several deputies who were across the street heard a gunshot and went to investigate. They located Lieutenant Harrison in his patrol car suffering from a gunshot wound to the back. He was transported to Dade City Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Lieutenant Harrison had been shot with a high-powered rifle by a sniper who was in the nearby woods. The shot went through the trunk of the car and struck him in the back.
A 19-year-old suspect turned himself in two days later and was charged in connection with Lieutenant Harrison's murder. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no parole.
Lieutenant Harrison was a Vietnam War veteran. He had been with the Pasco County Sheriff's Office for 31 years, and his retirement date was only 15 days away. He is survived by his son and two daughters.
