New Canaan Police Honor Fallen Officers, Including Its Own

New Canaan Police have set-up a memorial for the 127 officers who died in the line of duty last year as part of National Police Week.

The week was established by Congress in 1962. A number of officers from around the world will go to Washington, D.C. to pay homage to those that have made the ultimate sacrifice.

“This week, we honor their ultimate sacrifice and express our sincere condolences to their grieving families, friends, fellow officers and loved ones,” said Chief Leon Krolikowski.

New Canaan Police will also honor their own fallen brothers.

Officer James Martin died in the line of duty on July 24, 1991 and Chief Constable Louis Drucker died on Jan. 25, 1888.
