Yesterday, a group of law enforcement leaders studying at the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy visited the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial to honor the service and sacrifice of our nation’s fallen officers.
The group's ceremony began with a presentation of the colors. Following remarks from NLEOMF’s John Shanks, there was a ceremonial wreath-laying. At which time, there was a reading of the names of the FBI’s fallen officers by members of the National Academy class.
Earlier this year, the FBI tragically lost two officers—Agent Christopher Lorek and Special Agent Stephen Shaw—in an accident during a hostage rescue training.
