Wednesday has been proclaimed “Police Memorial Day” in Jacksonville.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office held a ceremony to honor the city’s fallen officers.
At the memorial, Jacksonville Sheriff John Rutherford said his agency strives to make a positive difference in the lives of those who are troubled. But they are far too often called upon to bury their own.
Rutherford said, “This year is especially poignant as we change our roll call and add the name of Mark Larson.”
