EDMONTON—They came to honour a father, a husband, a son and a friend. But Const. Daniel Woodall, Regimental Number 2829, was also recognized as a dedicated police officer who had only begun to tap his talents as protector of the abused and the bullied.
Woodall came into his own when he was assigned to the hate-crimes unit and his “tragic and senseless” death means a “life work cut short,” Edmonton police Chief Rod Knecht told mourners at the slain policeman’s funeral Wednesday.
