Today marks the end of this year's National Police Week. Throughout this week, community members, businesses, and community leaders show immense amount of support and appreciation to the Law Enforcement members, current and retired, in this area.

Every year, this week concludes with a memorial ceremony at the Alabama Law Enforcement Memorial at Centennial Park in Anniston. This ceremony recognizes and honors those officers who have given the ultimate sacrifice of their lives to protect their brothers and sisters in blue and the members of their local communities.

We greatly appreciate all the support shown to us this week, and we will continue to honor those who have sacrificed themselves while wearing the badge to serve and protect. We here at the Anniston Police Department thank our officers for their willingness to serve and will continue to strive daily to serve and protect our community to the best of our ability. Thank you all for your support and God Bless!
