Police Chief Scott Ervin said while it is important to remember those who have made the sacrifice, it is just as important to be a reminder to current officers. Any day, any shift, any time, we can be called upon to also pay that sacrifice in protection of our community, Ervin said. We also want to pay tribute to the families for the sacrifice they ve given up losing a loved one to perform this duty.
There were several guest speakers at the observance, including Jesse Nelson, who is running for mayor of Lynn Haven. The guest speakers described how proud they are of the men and women who have sworn to protect and serve their community.
