Leo the police dog once again was present for the Memorial Service.
The usual ingredients were there again for the Annual New Jersey Law Enforcement Memorial Service in Ocean Grove at the Great Auditorium on May 21, 2019 : so many bagpipers that they circle the Auditorium’s interior, representatives of all branches of law enforcement, and speeches to honor those heroes who lost their lives in the line of duty this past year. Each year the families of those lost men and women are honored.
It is a tradition, so it always seems the same, but yet it is always different, because each year our state loses others who keep us free and enforce justice.

The Memorial Service, to me, is one of the most important events held in the Great Auditorium.
It is moving, reverent, and makes us mindful of
the men and women who put their lives on the
line for us. It was an honor to be there.
