TPD to Hold Annual Law Enforcement Memorial During Historic Bicentennial Year

May 26, 2026

On Thursday, May 28, at 9 a.m., the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) will honor fallen law enforcement heroes during its annual Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony in front of TPD Headquarters on Seventh Avenue.

The solemn ceremony recognizes the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting their communities. As TPD commemorates its bicentennial year in 2026, the memorial also serves as a reminder of the generations of officers who have dedicated their lives to safeguarding Tallahassee over the past 200 years.

“This ceremony is an opportunity to pause and remember the sacrifice and service of those who gave everything in the line of duty,” said Chief Lawrence Revell. “As we reflect on TPD’s bicentennial year, we also honor the legacy of the men and women whose commitment to this profession helped shape our department and community.”

During the ceremony, TPD’s Honor Guard will lower the flags to half-staff in remembrance of the fallen.

Seventh Avenue will be shut down between Thomasville Road and N. Monroe Street beginning at 8:15 a.m. until the ceremony concludes.

The community is invited to attend the ceremony as TPD honors the bravery, integrity, and sacrifice of those lost in the line of duty.
