EL PASO POLICE DEPARTMENT
WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA
The Department’s Honor Guard paid tribute to our country’s veterans by visiting Fort Bliss National Cemetery on December 18 and placing wreaths on veterans grave markers. The wreath laying ceremony was started in 2007 at Arlington National Cemetery and has expanded to 2,100 locations in all 50 U.S. states. The Department has 18 police officers who have served in the Armed Forces and are resting in the cemetery, with approximately 266 officers and civilians in the Department that are currently serving their community as passionately as they served their country. Fort Bliss is an essential part of our community and economy. It is important to honor and serve those brave men and women who sacrifice so much to protect us.
