The Richardson Police Department held a memorial service Thursday morning at police headquarters honoring Texas peace officers killed in the line of duty in 2024, in conjunction with National Peace Officers Memorial Day. The ceremony included a 21-gun salute, remarks by Richardson Police Chief Gary Tittle and Richardson Mayor Amir Omar, and Taps performed by the Richardson Police Honor Guard.
National Peace Officers Memorial Day falls on May 15 each year and is part of National Police Week which was established by Congress in 1962.
