Arizona Concerns of
Police Survivors
9th Annual
Run to Remember – Phoenix, AZ
We finally had the chance to attend and
participate in the annual Run to Remember held in Phoenix, AZ. Had planned to only participate, but they
were in need a photographer. Hard to
believe that I had a camera in the trunk, so I was able to assist in coverage
as well. Not like I mind at all helping
out a great organization and greater cause.
“Their radios may be silent, but the
memories of Arizona’s officers killed in the line of duty live on.
Sunday, March 3, those memories were
honored at the 9th annual “Run to Remember,” a 5K family-friendly run in
Downtown Phoenix coordinated by Arizona Concerns of Police Survivors in
cooperation with the Peace Officer Memorial Board.
All proceeds from the run/walk
benefited the families of fallen officers.”

Arizona Peace Officers Memorial – Phoenix, AZ
Every
year, on the first Monday in May, the Arizona Peace Officers Memorial Board
honors the officers that have made the ultimate sacrifice and their
families. The weekend prior to the
Arizona Peace Officers Memorial Service, the Board also hosts the Annual Peace

5K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Run. All
proceeds of the event will assist with the annual Arizona Peace Officers
