During National Police Week, May 9 through May 15, the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) and the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy (TLETA) will raise awareness of the ultimate sacrifices made by Tennessee law enforcement officers, as well as the family members, friends and fellow officers they left behind.
This year, the names of 394 officers killed in the line of duty are being added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. In Tennessee, the names of eight fallen officers will be added to the memorial during the ceremony.
The 33rd Annual Candlelight Vigil will happen virtually on Thursday, May 13 at 7:00 p.m. Central Time.
