LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT MEMORIALS

 On Tuesday, May 15 - Peace Officers Memorial Day - flags across the United States are to be flown at half-staff in remembrance of the nearly 20,000 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in our nation's history.

This tribute to American law enforcement is part of the historic crime bill signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1994. At the request of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, Public Law 103-322 designates Peace Officers Memorial Day as one of only two days during which all residents, businesses and government agencies are required to lower their U.S. flags. The other day with this honor is Memorial Day, which commemorates those who died in military service to the country.

Lowering flags on Peace Officers Memorial Day is an appropriate way to show our respect for those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice and to remember the family, friends and colleagues they left behind.  It also is an important reminder of the continued service and sacrifice of the 900,000 law enforcement officers who protect our communities and safeguard our democracy day in and day out.

In 1962, President John Kennedy designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day. The calendar week in which May 15 falls is National Police Week, with this year's commemoration on May 13-19.

Our local recognition ceremony will be held on May 22, 2012 at the Kanapaha Memorial Park. There will be a social from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. with the official ceremony starting at 7:00 p.m. Please attend and bring your family to help us honor and remember those who have served, including former Deputy Jack Romeis who died February 1, 1988 after 15 years of service.
