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.  
  
Our ceremony honored:  
  
• Officer Donald DeSues – Roseburg Police Department – End of Watch August 7, 1959  
  
• Special Deputy Ronald H. Terwilliger – Douglas County Sheriff's Office – End of Watch July 23, 1985  
  
• Corporal Virgle D. Knight Jr. – Douglas County Sheriff's Office – End of Watch July 23, 1985  
  
• Sergeant Gerald G. Chirrick – Douglas County Sheriff's Office – End of Watch July 23, 1985

• Deputy S. Allen Burdic – Douglas County Sheriff's Office – End of Watch March 11, 2021  
  
We remember their courage, honor their sacrifice, and stand alongside the families, friends, and fellow officers who continue to carry their legacy forward.
