Local law enforcement agencies came together Wednesday to honor the service and sacrifice of officers across Allen County.
It was a night of remembrance in Hancock County as the lives of fallen local law enforcement officers were honored. In recognition of National Police Week, the Fort Findlay FOP hosted the Hancock County Law Enforcement Memorial Service, paying tribute to the lives of 10 officers lost while protecting the community.
“The kids really look forward to it,” Spriggs said. “We make cards for the SROs in the building, they interact with the local PD, and just see that we appreciate everything that they do every day to protect us and keep us safe here at school and in the community.”
