CONCORD â This year Law Enforcement Day was somber and commemorative for officers in Cabarrus County.
This year, Concord Police Officer Jason Shuping, who was killed on December 16, 2020, had his name added to the Law Enforcement Memorial along with the six other law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty in Cabarrus County.
Before the memorial ceremony revealing Shupingâs name, two law enforcement officers were recognized for the Robert J. Eury Award, the most prestigious law enforcement award in the community given to an officer that demonstrates true commitment to law enforcement and service to the community.
While Concord Police Deputy Chief Jimmy Hughes received the award in 2020, but due to the pandemic, he was recognized in a small private gathering. Now that outdoor gathering sizes have increased, he was publically recognized this year.

LANCASTER, N.Y. (WKBW) â The Lancaster Police Department is recognizing an officer who alerted a Depew family that their apartment building was on fire.
Officer James Robinson, Jr. was on patrol March 1 when he saw smoke coming from the roof of 4880 Broadway. While some tenants were evacuating the building, Officer Robinson learned others may still be inside the apartments in the back.
