Multiple groups have organized a blood drive in honor of Sgt. Ralph Miller, the Baldwin Borough police officer injured on Feb. 10 in a friendly fire incident in central Baldwin.
The drive will be held at the Baldwin Borough Municipal Complex along Churchview Avenue in north Baldwin from noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, with donations being taken by the Central Blood Bank.
Miller is well known around Baldwin Borough and its surrounding area as a child car seat inspector. Miller does not charge for that work and has been known to inspect seats for parents even on days that he is not scheduled to work.
