THE SCENE AT THE FALLEN OFFICERS MEMORIAL WAS ELECTRIC AS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY WAS OUT IN FULL FORCE TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT OF ONE OF THEIR OWN, FALLEN YCSO SERGEANT RICHARD R-LO LOPEZ WHO WAS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY ONE YEAR AGO.

THIS SPECIAL EVENT WAS SUPPORTED BY MANY LOCAL, COUNTY AND STATE AGENCIES, INCLUDING THE YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFFS, MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFFS, PRESCOTT PD, CHINO VALLEY PD, PRESCOTT VALLEY PD, SEDONA PD, WICKENBURG PD AND FIRST RESPONDERS BUT MOST IMPORTANT WAS HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN ATTENDANCE.

ONE OF LOPEZ’S FELLOW OFFICER, AND FAMILY FRIEND DUANE MIDDLETON CHAPLIN OF THE WICKENBURG PD HAD THIS TO SAY ABOUT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE…

SO WE DO, STICK TOGETHER AND THAT’S THE WHY IT SHOULD BE IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA.
