STATEHOUSE (Feb. 15, 2018) — State Rep. Dave Frizzell (R-Indianapolis) honored the life and sacrifice of Southport Police Department Lt. Aaron Allan on Thursday with a resolution at the Statehouse.

Allan, a six-year veteran of the department with more than 17 years of experience in law enforcement, was shot and killed while attempting to rescue individuals inside an overturned vehicle in July 2017. The driver of that crashed vehicle was charged with murder and is awaiting trial.

“Lt. Allan displayed courage and patriotism during his time as a police officer,” Frizzell said. “He is a true role model in our community, dedicating his life to protect others. Law enforcement officers like Aaron put their lives on the line every day, and it’s important we recognize that and show our appreciation. Thank you to the brave men and women who serve our community, and may God bless Aaron’s family.”
