Daniel Faulkner loved being a police officer and planned on a lifelong career in law enforcement. He was working toward his Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice Administration, with a long-term goal of attending law school so he could one day join the District Attorney's Office as a prosecutor. Family was important to Daniel, the youngest of seven children in a close-knit Irish-Catholic family from Philadelphia.

On December 9, 1981, those hopes and dreams were destroyed when Officer Daniel Faulkner was murdered in cold blood on a Philadelphia street corner during a routine traffic stop.
