Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome SIGNS A PROCLAMATION DECLARING JULY 17, 2021 AS LAW ENFORCEMENT MEMORIAL DAY

“This will mark the 5 year anniversary of the ambush of 6 law enforcement officers; 3 of which lost their lives, and 3 are still recovering from this tragedy. May we never forget their sacrifices,” said Mayor Broome on social media.

Earlier this week, I signed a proclamation declaring July 17, 2021 as Law Enforcement Memorial Day.  Saturday will mark the five year anniversary of the ambush of six law enforcement officers; three of which lost their lives, and three who are still recovering from this tragedy. 

May we never forget the sacrifices of Corporal Montrell Jackson, Officer Matthew Gerald, and Deputy Sheriff Brad Garafola. I ask all of you to keep their loved ones in your prayers. Please continue to pray for our officers who were injured: Deputies Nick Tullier and Bruce Simmons, and Detective Chad Montgomery.
