Today is National Peace Officers Memorial Day.

National Peace Officers Memorial Day is observed each year on May 15 as part of National Police Week. It was established in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy to honor law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty and to recognize the sacrifice made by their families, coworkers, and communities.

The Marathon County Sheriff’s Office pauses to honor and remember the peace officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the Marathon County community. Their service, courage, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We pay special recognition to:
