Updated on Oct. 4, 2026 in Law Enforcement
The Tipperary Hill Neighborhood Association has opened a second round of paver sales for a memorial honoring Onondaga County sheriff's Lt. Michael Hoosock and Syracuse police officer Michael Jensen. The two officers were killed in an ambush in Salina on April 14, 2024.
Why it matters
The neighborhood organization opened additional sales after receiving requests from community members who wanted to contribute to the monument project. The memorial serves as a permanent local tribute to the two officers killed in the line of duty.
The Tipperary Hill Neighborhood Association is selling 130 small pavers for $100 each and 130 medium pavers for $200 each. This follows a first round of sales that successfully moved 381 memorial stones.
