During National Police Week, the Monticello Police Department proudly honors the memory of Village Marshal Fred Jordan, who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the Village of Monticello in 1930.

Marshal Jordan dedicated himself to protecting this community, and though many years have passed, his sacrifice and service are not forgotten. He now rests at Highland Cemetery in Monticello, a lasting reminder of the courage and commitment Marshal Jordan gave to his community.

Police Week is a time to remember all fallen officers and reflect on the risks law enforcement officers have faced throughout history while serving their communities.

Please join us in honoring Village Marshal Fred Jordan and all officers who have given their lives in the line of duty.
