Statement on Officer Lawrence Hudson

It is with deep and profound sadness that we announce the tragic passing of active Officer Lawrence Hudson. After graduating from the Lowell Police Academy in 1998, Larry spent the past 24 years at the Cambridge Police Department in various roles within Patrol Operations. He also honorably served our country while on active duty in the US Army then with multiple tours of duty in the Massachusetts Army National Guard, spending extended time in Cuba, Iraq and Afghanistan.  He received a number of commendations during his 20+ years of service at the Cambridge Police Department, including the Herbert Halliday Lifesaving Ribbon, William J. Carroll Letter of Commendation and the Commissioner Unit Ribbon Award.

Larry was found unresponsive at his Woburn home early yesterday morning. The circumstances of his death are still being investigated at this time, but it is believed to be due to a medical issue.

Please keep Larry’s loved ones and the men and women at CPD in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Arrangements will be announced once they are finalized.
