This May, the Warren Police Department is proud to participate in a statewide initiative honoring Jamestown Police Officer Ryan Bourque, who was tragically killed by an impaired driver on May 23, 2016.

Throughout the month, Warren Police cruisers will display memorial ribbon decals in remembrance of Officer Bourque and all victims of impaired driving. Nearly ten years later, Officer Bourque’s service and sacrifice continue to be remembered throughout Rhode Island’s law enforcement community.

The Warren Police Department stands alongside our brothers and sisters at the Jamestown RI Police Department in honoring Officer Bourque’s legacy while continuing to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving. We encourage everyone to make responsible choices—plan ahead, designate a sober driver, use a rideshare, or arrange for a safe ride home.

This week, members of the Warren Police Department Honor Guard traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in events honoring our nation’s fallen law enforcement officers during National Police Week.

Our Honor Guard had the distinct privilege of es**rting surviving family members of fallen officers to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Candlelight Vigil, standing beside them as thousands gathered to honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Today, on National Peace Officers Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in the line of duty protecting their communities. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten, and we remain steadfast in honoring their legacy while supporting the loved ones they left behind.

National Police Week serves as a powerful reminder of the courage, service, and sacrifice demonstrated by law enforcement officers across this country.
