 | Officer Douglas M. Adams
09-08-1969 to 03-20-2001
Officer Adams and another Elkhart Police Department officer were enroute to back up a fellow officer who
was engaged in a foot pursuit nearby. Officer Adams and the other officer collided at the
corner of Main & Fraknlin while running lights and sirens. Officer Adams was ejected from his
car and was killed instantly. As of this time the suspect from the foot chase has not been
aprehended, but leads are being followed. Officer Adams was 2 1/2 weeks from his 1 year
anniversary with the department and is survived by his wife. Doug was a dedicated, caring
officer who died living his life's dream. He touched all who met him, and we will miss him
for all of our days.
