The 2020 Arizona Peace Officers Memorial Ceremony scheduled for May 4th has been cancelled due to the coronavirus. The Office of the Attorney General will continue to work with the Board and our law enforcement partners to identify a future date where a ceremony that properly and respectfully honors fallen officers can be conducted in a safe environment.
On Monday, May 4, 2020 the Arizona Peace Officers Memorial Board will pay tribute to the officers who, in the past year, made the ultimate sacrifice. Please join us in honoring these fallen heroes and all of Arizona’s officers who have lost their lives while protecting Arizona.
