Law enforcement memorial dedication ceremony set for Feb. 13
Sierra Vista, AZ. 02/05/16. Representatives from law enforcement agencies in Sierra Vista, Cochise County, and the State of Arizona will gather at a dedication ceremony for the Cochise County Law Enforcement Memorial in front of the Sierra Vista Police Department on Saturday, Feb. 13, at 10 a.m. The public is invited to attend.
For law enforcement officers, this memorial is a welcome honor to their peers who have fallen in the line of duty in Cochise County. For one Buena High School junior and soon-to-be Eagle Scout, the completed memorial marks the culmination of nearly 1,300 man hours of planning, organization, and execution.
“It has taught me to be a better leader and to delegate when I need to,†says Zachary Chrzanowski, a member of Cochise District Boy Scouts Troop 445 and Crew 445. Chrzanowski has been working on the memorial as his Eagle Scout project since April 23 of last year. His father and both of his grandfathers have served in law enforcement, which helped to inspire the project. More than 50 volunteers pitched in to get it done.
The memorial includes 27 names of law enforcement officers from various agencies who have died in the line of duty in Cochise County, dating back to 1880. It also honors the two K9s who died in the line of duty in Cochise County.
“We knew this would be a major project for Zach to take on. It’s inspiring to see him follow through and complete such a meaningful memorial,†Sierra Vista Police Chief Adam Thrasher says. “We’re proud to have it at our police department.â€
