The Patrick County Sheriff’s Office is preparing to observe National Peace Officers Memorial Day on May 15, a day set aside to honor law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Sheriff Dan Smith said the observance serves as a reminder of the sacrifices officers make while protecting their communities.
A memorial wall in the sheriff’s office is dedicated to preserving and honoring the memories of Deputy Sheriff/Constable Robert Bunyon Shepherd, Deputy Sheriff Walter W. Willis and Virginia State Trooper Charles Eugene Morris.
