From the Arkansas State Police
The Arkansas State Police will hold its annual Memorial Service on May 7 to honor fallen Troopers who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the State of Arkansas. This event precedes National Police Week, which takes place from May 11-17, 2025.
The service will begin at 2 p.m. at the Arkansas State Police Administrative Headquarters
One State Police Plaza Drive
(Geyer Springs and I-30, Exit 133).
During the ceremony, ASP Troopers and personnel will gather to remember and pay tribute to their fallen colleagues. Each Trooper who lost their life in the line of duty will be honored with a single red rose presented to their family members in attendance.
Since 1948, 21 Troopers and two canines have died while serving the State of Arkansas. The Memorial Service is a solemn reminder of their bravery and dedication to keeping Arkansas communities safe.
The Arkansas State Police ceremony aligns with the national observance of Police Week, which includes the Candlelight Vigil on May 13 and the National Peace Officers' Memorial Service on May 15 in Washington, D.C.
