FALLEN BUT NOT FORGOTTEN (DISTRICTS: ALL)

SUMMARY:

|
|
|
Overview
|
|
|
Each day, we rely on the brave and dedicated men and women who serve our communities as law enforcement officers to protect our rights, welfare and property. These men and women choose to put themselves in harm’s way in order to ensure the safety of the public at large. Unfortunately, some of these officers make the ultimate sacrifice.
During the month of May, several events will be held to honor these brave men and women who lost their lives in the line of duty. On May 6th, the San Diego County Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation will hold a memorial ceremony and dedicate the new San Diego County Regional Law Enforcement Memorial on the southwest lawn of the County Administration Center. Later that week, on May 8th, the state will honor all California law enforcement officers who were killed in the line of duty this year. On May 15th, Congress and the President of the United States of America will declare National Law Enforcement Memorial Day throughout our nation.
Today’s action will direct the Chief Administrative Officer to ensure that the flag of the United States of America be flown at half-staff at all County facilities from May 6th through May 15th in honor of all of the officers who gave their lives protecting ours.

BACKGROUND:
Each day, we rely on the brave and dedicated men and women who serve our communities as law enforcement officers to protect our rights, welfare and property. These men and women choose to put themselves in harm’s way in order to ensure the safety of the public at large. Unfortunately, some of these officers make the ultimate sacrifice.
During the month of May, several events will be held to honor these brave men and women who lost their lives in the line of duty. On May 6th, the San Diego County Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation will hold a memorial ceremony and dedicate the new San Diego County Regional Law Enforcement Memorial on the southwest lawn of the County Administration Center. While this Memorial will serve as a daily reminder of our fallen protectors who have, with uncommon nobility, served the public good, displaying our nation’s flag at half-staff is the ultimate salute to those who have paid the ultimate price.
On May 8th, the state will honor all California law enforcement officers who were killed in the line of duty this year, and on May 15th the Congress and President of the United States of America will declare National Law Enforcement Memorial Day throughout our nation. It is because of this that the County of San Diego should show its respect for these fallen heroes by lowering all flags of the United States of America that are located at County facilities to half-staff for the duration of this poignant time.
Today’s action will direct the Chief Administrative Officer to ensure that our nation’s flag be flown at half-staff from May 6th through May 15th in honor of all of the officers who gave their lives protecting ours.
Respectfully submitted,
RON ROBERTS
Supervisor, Fourth District
