Bio: Lemm grew up in a small Nebraska town, but he wanted to escape the farm life for the city. He loved sports and always wanted to be a police officer and a soldier.
Lemm enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and was promoted to technical sergeant with the 105th Base Defense Squadron. He was deployed three times, twice to Afghanistan and once to Iraq.
Throughout his military service, Lemm received numerous commendations, and he is expected to receive the Bronze Star Medal with Valor posthumously.
Lemm started his 15-year New York Police Department career at the 48th precinct and had recently promoted to detective. |
