“We here at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, are proud to stand with the law enforcement organizations represented here … and with the family, friends, and colleagues of those officers whose lives were cut short,” stated FLETC Director Thomas J. Walters during his remarks at FLETC’s Peace Officers Memorial Day Ceremony held on Oct. 6, 2021.
The ceremony honored 26 FLETC graduates who made the ultimate sacrifice in law enforcement service in 2019 and 2020, bringing the total number of fallen law enforcement officers, agents, and deputies on the FLETC Graduates Memorial to 263.
Walters added, “The officers enshrined here made a choice to join the ranks of good people that will do something. They chose to stand between our citizenry and those that would do them harm. They chose to protect, and to serve, and to give.”
