In conjunction with National Police Week, Chester County FOP Lodge #11 will be hosting their annual Law Enforcement Memorial Service on Thursday, May 18, 2023, at 6:30pm, in front of Lodge Headquarters, 218 N. Church Street, West Chester, PA 19380. The public is invited.
Honored will be the nine officers from Chester County who over the years, were killed in the line of duty. Unfortunately, this year Lodge #11 will be adding a 10th officer to our memorial monument, Officer Joshua Micun from the Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department, who contracted COVID while on duty and died on October 31, 2021.
Thursday’s ceremony will include an Honor Guard presentation led by local Law Enforcement Officers, a pipe band performance by the Chester County Emerald Society, guest speakers such as local Lodge President Robert McCarron, PA State FOP Lodge President Joe Regan, as well as Chester County District Attorney Deborah Ryan. South Coatesville Police Chief Kevin Pierce will sing the National Anthem, and the playing of Taps by Matthew Grieco from Grieco Funeral Home in Kennett Square, PA. A solemn reading of the names and “end of watch” dates of the Chester County heroes will round out the tribute with a reception at Lodge #11 afterwards.
