Each May, our nation pauses to honor the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of law enforcement officers. During National Police Week, and especially on Peace Officers’ Memorial Day, we remember those fallen officers who gave their lives in the line of duty and stand in gratitude for those who continue to serve.
We invite you to join us for the 42nd Riverside County Peace Officers’ Memorial Ceremony, on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, which honors the men in women in law enforcement who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
4102 Orange Street, Riverside
5:15 pm- Memorial Run
6:00 pm- Memorial Ceremony
The run portion will begin promptly at 5:15 p.m. and will be approximately 2.5-mile-long moderate jog that is open to all law enforcement, their families, and the public. Early arrival is encouraged. The end of the jog will lead into the start of the ceremony at 6 p.m.
Parking will be available in the parking structure on 12th Street between Orange St. & Lemon St., along with other open parking areas adjacent to the Riverside Police Department and Riverside County Sheriff's Administration building.
This year, Deputy Timothy Corlew will be added to the memorial statue. The event will also include a Fallen Officer Tribute to all Riverside County Fallen Officers, Deputies, and Agents.
Please join all law enforcement in Riverside County to honor our Fallen Heroes and those they left behind.
We look forward to seeing you there.
