This year we remember the loss of Frank Fabiano Jr, a Kenosha County Sheriff's Deputy.
The Officer Down Memorial Page has a memorial to Deputy Fabiano here.
In 2008, Wisconsin lost another officer. Chippewa County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Zunker was struck and killed by a motor vehicle on January 5th. His Officer Memorial is located here.
In 1989, the first annual Candlelight Vigil was held at the site of the soon-to-be constructed National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Judiciary Square in Washington, DC. In October, 1991, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial was dedicated by President George Bush. Today that Memorial Wall carries the names of over 14,000 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
During National Police Week, Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS) encourages the display of blue ribbons on car antennas. COPS distributes over 1,000,000 blue ribbons prior to National Police Week to law enforcement agencies to display on cruiser antennas. Citizens can also show their support by flying blue ribbons from their car antennas.
