This annual event is part of a larger, nationwide observance coinciding with National Police Week, which is recognized every May to honor those law enforcement officers who have died or been disabled in the line of duty. It calls to light the harsh realities and the dangers inherent in the profession of policing, providing a moment of collective grieving and giving thanks to those who continue patrolling the streets.

During the ceremony, the names of law enforcement officers who have fallen in the past year will be read aloud, their stories shared in the presence of family, friends, coworkers, and community members—a raw, unfiltered honor roll calling out the measure of sacrifices made, respect will be paid with moments of silence, the laying of wreaths, and the echoes of taps fading into the sky, commemorating lives devoted and lost to the service of public order.
