Alberta RCMP, EPS constables honoured at Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day

The Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day is hitting close to home for Alberta and Edmonton law enforcement this year as they honour three of their own.

The day of remembrance for police and peace officers who lost their lives in the line of duty was first celebrated in Canada in 1998.

At the Alberta legislature grounds Sunday afternoon, three Alberta police officers were honoured in a ceremony.

Constables Brett Ryan and Travis Jordan were fatally shot March 16 in Edmonton, marking the ninth and 10th police deaths in the city’s history.

On April 10, RCMP Const. Harvinder Singh Dhami, who served in Strathcona County, was killed in a single-vehicle incident while responding to a request for support from a fellow officer.
