Law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty throughout Riverside County will be honored in a ceremony Saturday that's expected to draw representatives from local, state and federal agencies, as well as members of the public who want to show their support. The 40th Riverside County Peace Officers' Memorial Ceremony is slated for 8 a.m. adjacent to the Safe In His Arms statue that fronts the Riverside Police Department's Orange Street station downtown. 'This event will include a tribute to all 74 (of the county's) fallen officers, deputies and agents, a flag folding and gun salute ceremony, and a multi-agency helicopter fly-over,' according to an RPD statement.
