Law Enforcement Memorial Service
Saturday May 20th, 2017 11:00 a.m.
Steuben County Public Safety Building
On Saturday May 20th, 2017 at 11am, the Steuben County
Sheriff’s Office will be hosting the third annual Law Enforcement Memorial
Service at the Steuben County Public Safety Building, 7007 Rumsey Street
Extension, Bath NY. This ceremony is at
the conclusion of National Police Week and commemorates the law enforcement
professionals in Steuben, Allegany, Chemung, Livingston, Ontario, Schuyler and
Yates Counties who have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their
communities. The first phase of construction
of the Steuben County Law Enforcement Memorial Park is complete and will be
featured in the memorial ceremony.
Nationwide last year, 145 law enforcement officers lost
their lives in the line of duty. This
year we have already lost 48 officers nationally, an increase of thirty percent
from this time last year. The
devastation caused to the communities and families that each of these deaths
represent is incalculable. Please join
your local law enforcement leaders, government leaders, area school children,
veterans and community members on Saturday May 20th at 11a.m. at the Steuben
County Sheriff’s Office to honor and pray for those who have been lost, and for
those who remain and remember.
