Today is Peace Officers Memorial Day when we honor the brave men and women Police Officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. We should never forget the dedication Officers have to their communities. So far in 2024, 58 officers have lost their lives in the line of duty. This week is also National Police Week, in which we honor all officers who serve our communities, recognizing their hard work, dedication, loyalty and commitment to keeping our communities safe. Thank you to our Tyngsborough Officers, and all officers across the country, for serving with honor and integrity.
The Tyngsborough Police Department honors the memory of two officers who lost their lives in the line of duty serving our community. Please join us in remembering their service and sacrifice.
