Washington Memorial Honors Moore

Grief and respect transcended borders Tuesday, as the annual event memorializing fallen Washington state law enforcement officers adopted a broader look at the job given recent events in Coeur d’Alene and elsewhere. “I was going to start this morning’s speech by paying tribute to the 126 law enforcement officers that lost their lives in the U.S. during 2014. I was then going to find a way, perhaps, to celebrate that none of those officers came from the great state of Washington,” said Spokane police Assistant Chief Rick Dobrow. “That was a brief, but very selfish thought. How could I possibly think of just Washington, when our brother in Idaho, Sgt. Greg Moore, gave his life just over a week ago?”/ Kip Hill , SR. More here .
