In recognition of National Police Week, May 14-20, communities across the United States will honor and remember those law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as the family members, friends and fellow officers they left behind.

The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office will host a memorial service on Monday, May 15, National Peace Officers Memorial Day, to pay special recognition of law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. 

The service will begin at 10:00 a.m. on the east side (Main St) of the Hardin County Courthouse. Law Enforcement Officers from all agencies throughout the county have been invited to participate. 

The Kenton High School Top 20 will present the National Anthem; Judge Steve Christopher of the Hardin County Common Pleas Court will offer remarks. The roll call of Hardin County’s Fallen Officers will be read. 

The public is welcomed and encouraged to attend.
