Members gather at the site of the shooting — a parking lot at 15th and Idaho Streets — to "honor and remember Stall's sacrifice." Many members of the police department are known to still log on with Officer Stall as "a silent partner" listed next to their names, as if he was riding in their patrol car with them.
