Honoring all officers who have died in the line of duty in the State of Washington, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office, Spokane Police Department and other regional law enforcement agencies welcome members of the community and media to attend the 32nd Annual Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Ceremony.

The ceremony will take place Tuesday, May 7 at 11:30 a.m. at the Public Safety Building located at 1100 W. Mallon Ave.

As of this year, there will be 327 names engraved on the memorial, with the additions of:

On the evening before, Monday, May 6 at 8 p.m., a Candlelight Ceremony will also take place at the memorial. This is open to the community as well.
