Madison County residents and representatives gathered at the Madison County Sheriff’s Office Friday morning to commemorate the annual National Law Enforcement Memorial Service Day, and to remember the fallen officers of West Tennessee.
Announced at the ceremony was the creation of Police Officers Memorial Day, to be honored throughout Madison County on May 15, 2021.
The proclamation was presented by Madison County Mayor Jimmy Harris and Jackson City Mayor Scott Conger.
“This community will never forget (the fallen’s) service and their sacrifice for this community and for the state of Tennessee,” said Harris. “Thank you all that wear a uniform, no matter what your function is, because without you, our society would (be chaos). Thank you for your service we cherish the memories of those who have given their all in the line of duty protecting our community. We will never forget.”
