SOCIAL MEDIA TRIBUTE
It is with great sadness that I report that Sgt. James Mickel (Retired) from the Shirley Police Department passed away yesterday morning. Sgt. Mickel or “Jazz” as he was known to the department and his friends, was shot in the line of duty in April of 1994 while making a felony stop on a vehicle on Ayer Rd. The operator of the vehicle who was an escaped prisoner from MCI Shirley, shot Sgt. Mickel, and fled leading Shirley Police and numerous police agencies on a chase that ended up in New Hampshire. Sgt. James Mickel was a 14 year veteran of the department. Prior to joining the Shirley Police Department, Sgt. Mickel was a Worcester Housing Authority Police Officer.
Chief Samuel Santiago.
