MPD Peace Officers Memorial Service to honor fallen goes virtual

The annual Murfreesboro Police Department (MPD) Peace Officers Memorial ceremony in honor of fallen officers, will air on various broadcast and social media platforms, at 12:00 p.m. Thursday, May 14. In past years, the ceremony has taken place at the Murfreesboro Civic Plaza, most recently, at the Memorial Wall located at the MPD headquarters on N. Highland Ave.

National Police Week began in 1962, when President John F. Kennedy recognized May 15 at Police Officers Memorial Day.

“This is a time for us to pay special tribute to all law enforcement officers who gave their lives while serving their community,” said Chief Michael Bowen. “While honoring these fallen officers, we also recognize the brave men and women who currently protect and serve our communities on a daily basis.”

Residents can watch the Peace Officers Memorial Service at Noon on CityTV and can be viewed on Comcast Xfinity channel 3 & 1094, AT&T Uverse channel 99, Roku, Apple TV via Cablecast Screenweave, www.youtube.com/cityofmurfreesboro, and City website at www.murfreesborotn.gov/citytv. The virtual service will also be available on the City’s and police department’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
