In Memoriam Westfield Police Department End of Watch: January 11, 1969 We honor and remember Deputy Marshal David Brown, whose life was tragically taken in the line of duty while serving and protecting his community. On the evening of January 11, 1969, Deputy Marshal Brown was conducting an investigation into livestock thefts when he encountered a suspicious individual behind Westfield High School. While courageously performing his duty, Deputy Marshal Brown made the ultimate sacrifice, later found shot in his patrol car. His dedication to justice, commitment to the safety of Westfield, and bravery in the face of danger will never be forgotten. Deputy Marshal Brown’s legacy endures as a testament to the selfless service of all law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to protect others. Today, we remember and honor Deputy Marshal Brown’s sacrifice and extend our deepest gratitude to his family, loved ones, and the Westfield Police Department. May his memory live on in our hearts and inspire us to carry forward his devotion to justice and community. Rest in peace, Deputy Marshal Brown. You are not forgotten.

The Indiana Sheriffs’ Association is a nonprofit educational and service organization comprised of the 92 county sheriffs, their deputies and other law-abiding citizens throughout the state.

The scholarship program is administered by a committee made up of sheriffs, deputy sheriffs and college administrators within the state.

What is National Anthem Day 2025? National Anthem Day is a day to commemorate the United States adopting “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the national anthem in 1931.

Each year on National Anthem Day, Americans come together to celebrate the history of the United States and the fight for independence and liberty, with “The Star-Spangled Banner” acting as an enduring icon of the American dream. The National Anthem is sung at events like the Super Bowl and presidential inaugurations, with Americans placing their right hands on their hearts during the song (or saluting if they are in the military). When is National Anthem Day 2025? National Anthem Day takes place on March 3, the anniversary of the United States Congress passing the resolution to make “The Star-Spangled Banner” the official national anthem of the United States in 1931.

In Memoriam Carmel Police Department End of Watch: June 8, 1900 We honor and remember Deputy Constable William Carey, who gave his life in service to the community of Carmel, Indiana.

Deputy Carey’s courage and dedication to maintaining peace and order in the face of danger serve as a timeless example of the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers to protect their communities. His bravery and commitment will forever be remembered by the citizens he served.

Flag Day is a holiday celebrated on June 14 in the United States.

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation that designated June 14 as Flag Day.[4] On August 3, 1949, National Flag Day was officially established by an Act of Congress.[5] On June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday, beginning in the town of Rennerdale.[1] New York Consolidated Laws designate the second Sunday in June as Flag Day, a state holiday.[6]

ROUTE: Route - www.copscycling4survivors.org Cops Cycling for Survivors Foundation, Incorporated is focused on compassion, integrity, and dedication. Our core mission is to raise awareness of fallen law enforcement officers who are killed in the line of duty and their survivors. Funds generated will be utilized to perpetuate the memories of the officers and support their survivors left behind. Cops Cycling for Survivors Foundation, Incorporated was granted 501(c) 3 status as a not-for-profit in late 2011, and the inaugural 13 day tour around Indiana took place in July of 2012. However, the spirit of this ride began many years before. In 2002 a group of police officers decided to support survivors by riding their bicycles from Indianapolis, Indiana to Washington, D.C. to honor officers killed in the line of duty and to support their survivors. The ride has gone through many changes over the years, but one thing has remained constant…the cyclists’ dedication to honoring fallen law enforcement heroes and supporting their survivors left behind. Two people who were integral to the success of Cops Cycling were Lt. Gary Dudley of the Indiana State Police and Retired Chief Gary Martin of the Lake County Police Department. Lt. Dudley took the organizational and emotional lead and kept the wheels rolling after the first two years riding to Washington, D.C. Wanting to do more to support survivors on a local level, Gary brought the ride home to Indiana. On August 22, 2006, Lt. Dudley and Chief Martin were both killed during the ride when a large box truck struck the rear of the support truck, pushing the support truck into the cyclists. Several of the cyclists who had participated in the ride for many years and were cycling the day of the crash determined to keep Lt. Dudley and Chief Martin’s memories and motivation alive. Those memories and motivation have developed into what the ride is today. https://www.copscycling4survivors.org/

National Day of Service and Remembrance (9/11 Day), is a chance to help others in tribute to those killed and injured on September 11, 2001, first responders, and the countless others who serve to defend the nation’s freedom at home and around the globe. On the direction of the President, the flag of the United States of America should be displayed on the homes of Americans, the White House and all United States government buildings in the whole world. The flag should be flown at half-staff as a mark of respect to those who died on September 11, 2001. Many people observe a moment of silence at 8:46 AM (Eastern Daylight Time). This marks the time that the first plane flew into the World Trade Center. Some communities, particularly in the areas directly affected by the attacks, hold special church services or prayer meetings. People who personally experienced the events in 2001 or lost loved ones in them, may lay flowers or visit memorials.

This event is in honor of Sheriff's Deputy Jason Baker, who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 17, 2001, protecting our community. Proceeds from the event go to the Jason Baker Foundation, Inc., a 501 (c) 3, provides scholarships for those pursuing a career in the field of public safety.

National CWAC Day. Greetings, I wanted to send out a quick note to everyone about how excited we are for Coffee with a Cop Day 2025 which will be celebrated on October 1st. Since its inception in 2011 Coffee with a Cop events have served to build trust and help foster a sense of community in communities large and small. This day is very important for the community because it fosters relations between civilians and their police officers. Officers hear from the community about their security challenges and needs. The community liaises with their security officers, not just as public officers but also as allies in protecting and caring for the people of their town. If crime is to be abated, both the community and police officers must work together.

Christmas is far more than the twinkling lights, wrapped gifts, and festive meals—it is the celebration of God’s incredible love for humanity. At its heart, Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, who came to bring hope, peace, and salvation to all. As the Gospel of John reminds us, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (John 1:14). This miraculous moment represents God stepping into our broken world, not as a distant deity, but as Emmanuel, "God with us" (Matthew 1:23). Through Jesus, we are invited into a relationship with God and offered the greatest gift of all—eternal life.
