The Belen Police Dept. honors those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to defend this great nation. We do so with our Belen community at the Veterans Memorial Day Ceremony at Eagle Park. What a great service for those who gave it all, and for the families of our brave soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors. And to all who served and continue to protect us, thank you for your service.

Today, Chief Rodriguez and Lieutenant Keck represented the Belen Police Dept. at the New Mexico Law Enforcement Memorial. We remember those officers and deputies from all across New Mexico who made the ultimate sacrifice. Most of all, we honor the families of our fallen heroes as they hold a special place in our hearts. It also reminds us of the overwhelming support the people of Belen and all of New Mexico have for us.
