WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - During this National Police Week, the nation remembers nearly 400 fallen heroes who died in service to their communities.
The memorial events will include honoring Florence Regional Airport Public Safety Officer Jackson Ryan Winkeler. Winkeler – who was murdered last year – is the first known public safety officer from his department to be killed while on the job.
“Jackson had a servant’s heart in every sense of the word,” said Latta Police Department Lieutenant Zane Bryant.
