Police Week, May 15th through May 21st, 2023, honors all law enforcement officers throughout the United States who have given their lives to safeguard our rights and freedoms.
On behalf of all law enforcement agencies in our community, I invite you to join us in remembering those officers and showing our appreciation for the sacrifices they and their families have made.
Please join law enforcement officers from the Josephine County Sheriff's Office, Grants Pass Police Department and Oregon State Police to salute their memory on Tuesday, May 16th, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. on the steps of the Josephine County Courthouse.
Below is the roll call of law enforcement personnel who have paid the ultimate price and lost their lives in the line of duty, serving Josephine County.
