The Mahoning Valley law enforcement community came together on Thursday, May 28, 2026, to honor the brave officers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Annual Fallen Officers Memorial at St. Mary’s Byzantine Catholic Church in Youngstown.
The day began with a processional from Penguin City Brewing Company, led by the Blue Knights and Youngstown Police Motorcycle Unit, followed by a moving memorial ceremony featuring prayers, musical tributes, the Presentation of the Memorial Wreath, and the reading of the Last Roll Call.
Family members, fellow officers, elected officials, and community members gathered in remembrance of the heroes who dedicated their lives to protecting others. Their sacrifice and service will never be forgotten.
“In Valor, There Is Hope.”
