Black Hawk County holds memorial for Peace Officers
As part of National Peace Officers Week, the Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Department is hosting the county’s annual Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony at 11 a.m. today in downtown Waterloo.
Sheriff Tony Thompson says they never want the families of those who have given their lives to think those sacrifices have been forgotten. Sheriff Thompson says, “This event every year is more so reminding both the community as well as the families that these are our brothers, our sisters, that have fallen in the greatest sacrifice in our profession, and that is laying down their lives for the safety of others.”
