BPD Honors Fallen Officers

A large crowd of people gathered in front of Bartlesville Police Headquarters Wednesday afternoon to pay respect to law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice.
The 2023 Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony was a solemn occasion where officers from across Washington County and law enforcement supporters came together to remember those who fell in the line of duty.
BPD Interim Police Chief Jay Hastings introduced the meaning behind Wednesday's ceremony.
Clayton Johnson, U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of Oklahoma, provided special remarks on honoring sacrifice and that the law enforcement community is much larger than many people think.
Bartlesville police administration read off the names of 14 Washington County officers who have been killed in the line of duty, followed by a gun salute from the BPD Honor Guard and the playing of Taps.
