Published: 12/16/2025

Family of murdered police detective, Ross Hunt, seeks formal recognition for his bravery over 40 years after his death. Despite efforts, posthumous honors like the George Medal are denied due to a five-year time bar policy. Hunt was fatally attacked by a group while protecting colleagues, leaving a lasting impact on his family. They continue to fight for recognition alongside other families of fallen officers.
