remembering the fallen, honoring those who serve

In 1962 President John F Kennedy signed into law National Peacekeepers Memorial Day, to be held annually on May 15. Today, we honor the brave men and women, and our K-9 heroes, who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their courage, dedication, and unwavering commitment to protecting our communities will never be forgotten. Your selfless service ensures our safety and upholds the values of justice and peace. To the families of our fallen heroes, we offer our heartfelt condolences and support. Your loved ones' legacy of bravery and sacrifice will forever be etched in our hearts. As we remember those who have fallen, let us also extend our deepest gratitude to the peace officers who continue to serve with integrity and valor.

A special thank you to the members of the Farmington Police Department who strive to make Farmington a safe and secure community for all:

Chief Kenneth Charles, Deputy Chief Shane Cote, Sergeant Ethan Boyd, Sergeant Jonathan Parker, Detective Rex Schweighofer, Corporal Ryan Rosie, School Resource Officer Matthew Brann, Officer Ethan Bronson, Officer Ethan Whitney, Officer Arianna Bacon, Officer Jesse Dixon, Parking Enforcement Officer and ACO Drew Holston, K-9 Officer Hook, Office Manager Lynne Carey, Office Assistant Jocelyn Kelly, and School Crossing Guard Bob Holman.
