To honor those who have fallen, the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department held a special service Friday.
During the service, a lone officer’s hat and a pair of boots lay next to the podium to symbolize all those that have fallen in the line of duty.
Crawford County Sheriff Shawn Kraycs spoke on how dangerous the job can be, and that every day, officers lay their lives on the line for the communities they are a part of.
He says that not everyone realizes the dangers of being a police officer.
“Police officers don’t come to working saying ‘I’m going to go out and shoot somebody tonight’,” said Kraycs. “They come to work saying, ‘I’m going to do the best I can do to protect and serve the people of my community.’ And sometimes they get hurt. Sometimes they die doing that, and we have to show them, like we do soldiers, that we respect the sacrifice that they made.”
