The City of Corpus Christi celebrated the 8th Annual Regional Peace Officers Memorial Day at the Ortiz Center. This ceremony was to honor and remember the peace officers that have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The first officer from our county to be kill in the line of duty was on August 13,1860 a Nueces County Sheriff Deputy. Since then, a total of 22 peace officers have lost their lives in our county. To date, the Corpus Christi Police Department has lost 11 officers, Nueces County Sheriff Department has lost 6 deputies, the Nueces County Constables have lost 4 officers, and the Port of Corpus Christi Police has lost one officer.
