Chief Heinz von Eckartsberg opened his remarks with a moment of silence for Kirkersville Police Chief Steven DiSario, who was killed in an ambush shooting while on duty earlier that same morning.
Hilliard Police Chief Robert Fisher served as the guest speaker for this year’s event. He spoke about the pain of losing one of his officers, Sean Johnson, in an on-duty motorcycle training accident in 2016.
