The lives of all 11 peace officers from Hunt County who have been killed in the line of duty will be remembered this next weekend during a special ceremony in Greenville.
The local observance of the National Peace Officers Memorial Day is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 15 in front of the Hunt County Sheriffâs Office, 2801 Stuart Street in Greenville.
Ms. Ferranto had a reminder that the coronavirus pandemic remains a factor for all officers; there have been 182 confirmed deaths within the ranks due to the virus in 2020, she said, with more expected.
“While we were all at home, adjusting to a new normal, the lives of our law enforcement didn’t change. They had no time or choice but to dive right in. No officers sat in their car saying they can’t go in because of COVID,” Ms. Ferranto told Mr. McCarthy.
“Let these men and women know when you see them that you appreciate what they do and the sacrifices they have made to keep our communities safe. We would not be living in this country as it is today without them,” she advised.
