Fallen law officers are remembered at an annual ceremony on the capitol grounds.
Four Iowa law enforcement officers who were killed in the line of duty will be honored in a ceremony on the statehouse grounds this week.
A news release issued today by the Iowa Department of Public Safety shows the four officers who will be honored all died between 1917 and 1945.
They are Cedar Falls Police Officer Everett Dutcher, Knoxville Police Officer Albert Conrey, Pottwattamie County Sheriff’s Special Deputy Claude Dail, and Osceola Police Deputy Marshal Richard Eggleston.
