Today Springfield community members discovered the Beauregard and Schiavina Fallen Officer Memorial vandalized, and now local officials are calling the incident disgraceful. The memorial on North Branch Parkway honors two police officers who passed away in 1985. A Springfield City Councilor told Western Mass News whoever vandalized the memorial does not represent what the City of Springfield stands for.

"It is disgraceful and unacceptable," said Springfield City Councilor Orlando Ramos. On Sunday, Springfield residents discovered, what is believed to be, two anti-police acronyms referencing profanity on the Beauregard and Schiavina Fallen Officer Memorial.
