Natick's Annual Peace Officers Memorial Ceremony Honors Fallen Officers

On Tuesday, May 19, Natick holds its fifteenth annual Peace Officers Memorial Ceremony, which takes place at 10 a.m. in front of the Natick Police Station. The ceremony consists of a flag raising at half-staff and a calling of the roll for all deceased members of the Natick Police Department. In addition, the newest names added to the Natick memorial in front of the station will be added, and color guards from area towns and Natick police officers march to a rifle squad salute.

Ed Davis, former superintendent of Boston PD, is the guest speaker. The collation follows in the bays of the fire station, followed by refreshments.

“This is an event that we are very proud of,” said Lt. Rossi-Cafarelli. “This is our 15th year and it gets better every time! All are welcome. It’s very impressive and very meaningful.”

Here is the schedule of events for National Police Week.
