I had to be without internet access for a few weeks. I apologize for the absence. I was saddened in that time period that quite a few officers were lost, and I was unable to post them here and honor them. What follows is a list of officers that have died in the line of duty so far this year. I make every effort to post each officer, and in no way do I want to fail to acknowledge the life and service of each and every one. Please take a moment to pray for the families and fellow officers who have lost loved ones, partners, and friends.
