In 2021, the names of 394 officers killed in the line of duty were added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. These 394 officers included 295 (182 fatalities are COVID-19-related) officers who were killed during 2020, plus 99 officers who died in previous years but whose stories of sacrifice had been lost to history until now.
The four officers from Alabama included Kimberly Police Officer Nicholas O’Rear and Moody Police Lt. Stephen Williams. Gail Green and Parnell Guyton are also on the list.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund will host its annual candle-lighting ceremony virtually on Thursday, May 13.
