National Police Week is May 11 – 17 this year, and the Macon-Bibb Law Enforcement Foundation is holding its annual Peace Officers Memorial Day Ceremony as part of it. The service is at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, May 9, at Public Safety Memorial Park (intersection of Mulberry and Second streets). The event will be live streamed on our Facebook page. 

“We want everyone to remember and honor each of our public safety heroes who devoted their lives to protect our community,” says Warren Selby with the Macon-Bibb Law Enforcement Foundation. "This memorial ceremony is so important to us."

During the Ceremony, all the names of our Police Officers, Sheriff’s Deputies, and Firefighters who lost their lives in the Line of Duty will be read, and an Honor Guard will place a rose at the base of the monument for each name will be read. This somber and reverent ceremony will also feature speakers, a prayer, music, and a flyover from Georgia State Patrol.
