Jeff Fiorita, along with several other members of the Beavercreek Police Department, with a proclamation at this week’s city council meeting.
“The members of the Beavercreek Police Department play an essential role in safeguarding the rights and freedoms of the citizens of Beavercreek,” said Mayor Bob Stone when presenting the proclamation.
National Police Week honors the service and sacrifice of U.S. law enforcement officers, while while allowing law enforcement, survivors, and citizens to gather and pay homage to those who gave their lives in the line of duty.
This year, the names of 619 officers killed in the line of duty (319 fatalities were COVID-19-related) are being added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. These 619 officers include 472 officers who were killed during 2021, plus 147 officers who died in previous years, but whose stories of sacrifice had been lost to history until now.
Please take time to recognize the men and women who hold the line, and to remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and have laid their life down to protect another.
