ack, and we will continue to honor them for doing so.”
The candlelight vigil coincides with National Police Week scheduled for May 13-19, 2012.
“The event is open to the public with a special invitation to all family and friends of any law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty while protecting citizens of Mississippi,” said Ken Winter, executive director of the Mississippi Chiefs of Police Association.

Detective Mike Walter of the Pearl Police Department.
Members of the public, and family and friends of any Mississippi law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty are invited to join officers from the Mississippi Chiefs of Police Association, the Mississippi Sheriffs Association, the Mississippi Highway Patrol, the Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries Department, the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, and the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office at the event.
