Cecil County Monument Honors Law Enforcement Officers Killed in the Line of Duty

Posted on May 13, 2013 by admin

Today the nation honors fallen law enforcement officers during an annual Candlelight vigil in Washington, D.C.  While people across the country remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice I paused briefly at our Cecil County Monument on this cool Monday in mid-spring.  It was dedicated a few decades ago to honor county peace officers who made the ultimate sacrifice and there are six names on the monument.  The memorial is located at the Cecil County Detention Center on Landing Lane in Elkton.
