Today, the Waterloo Police Department hosted the annual Black Hawk County Peace Officers’ Memorial Service at Veterans Memorial Hall in downtown Waterloo. Held each year during National Police Week, this ceremony honors and remembers the law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
During the service, tribute was paid to 14 fallen officers from agencies across Black Hawk County. Their dedication, courage, and commitment to protecting their communities will never be forgotten.
The memorial service was attended by the families of our fallen heroes, community members, city leaders, active law enforcement officers, and retired officers. Their presence served as a powerful reminder of the respect, gratitude, and support our community holds for those who serve and protect.
