It is with deep sadness that Park Police Chief Nathaniel J. Barber announces the sudden death of Detective Brent LaMere. Detective LaMere collapsed at work on Monday, June 11, 2007, and was unable to be revived.

Detective LaMere was assigned to the Montgomery County Division's Investigative Services Section. He began working with the Park Police in 1995 as a volunteer and became a police officer in 1998.

Detective LaMere received numerous commendations and awards including Park Police Detective of the Year for 2003 and 2006. Chief Barber stated, "Brent was truly an asset to the Montgomery County Park System and to the police profession. He will be sorely missed."

Detective LaMere is survived by his wife, Summer Lynn LaMere, his 5-year old daughter, Allison Lee LaMere, his parents, three brothers, and one sister.

The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, contributions in Detective Brent LaMere's memory be made to H.E.R.O.E.S., Inc., 666 Eleventh Street, N.W., Suite 300, Washington, D.C. 20001 or to Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc., P.O. Box 3199, Camdenton, MO 65020.
