In law enforcement, "End of Watch" (EOW) has two meanings. It can refer to the end of a police officer's shift, as some departments use "watch" to denote a shift. It also signifies the date of an officer's death in the line of duty or by illness. This latter meaning is commemorated in a special "End of Watch" call or final radio call made by dispatch to honor the fallen officer. On behalf of all of us at the Bay County Sheriff's Office, we present the End of Watch for Lt. Chad King of the BCSO.
