EL PASO POLICE DEPARTMENT • POLICE WEEK
POLICE WEEK In observance of National Police Week and in remembrance of our fellow fallen police officers lost in the line of duty, the El Paso Police Department held several events throughout the week of May 12 – 18 with a cemetery clean up, a Police Week Proclamation at City Hall, a Blue Light Vigil at Chamizal National Memorial, a Police Memorial Ceremony at Chuck Heinrich Park, and an El Paso Municipal Police Officers Association Fallen Officers Memorial Run. This year, the El Paso Police Department Honor Guard held a private ceremony at Police Headquarters where personalized invitations from Assistant Chief Silva were hand delivered to family members of our officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Local high school law enforcement programs participated in the week-long events. The Fallen Officers Memorial Run was hosted and sponsored by 9 Rounds and Marco’s Pizza, who also had family members in law enforcement die in the line of duty. Hospitals of Providence, Borderplex Realty Trust and TxDOT showed their support for Police Week. Borderplex Realty Trust lit up One Jacinto Plaza building in blue, Providence lit their locations, and TxDOT lit up parts of I-10 in blue.
