Today, on Peace Officers Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.
Yesterday, we gathered to honor our locally fallen law enforcement officers. Their memories, their service, and the families they left behind remain close to our hearts and will never be forgotten.
