BRISTOL, Conn. — The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund paid tribute to the fallen Bristol police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty last October by engraving their names along with hundreds of others to the national memorial.
Lt. Dustin DeMonte, Sgt. Alex Hamzy, and 554 other fallen officers were added to the memorial for making the ultimate sacrifice while in the line of duty.
Each year before National Police Week, the Memorial Fund works to engrave names on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. They include officers who died in the line of duty the previous year or ones that died years prior but were recently discovered.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund said the next two weeks are dedicated to remembering the thousands of heroes on the wall and all the others that have been added.
National Police Week begins on May 14 through May 20. This week is dedicated to paying recognition to officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
