WINONA, Minn. (KWNO)-As part of National Law Enforcement Week, Winona County authorities took time Wednesday to honor fallen officers who served the area.
Members of the Winona Police Department, Winona County Sheriff’s Office, and other local officials gathered to lay flowers on the memorials of Investigator John Schneider, Corporal Ted Foss, and Officer Matthew Hamilton. Last year’s ceremony was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Investigator Schneider, who was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance in 1980, is the subject of an episode of the Officer Down Memorial Podcast.
