In the early hours of Thursday morning two members of the Edmonton Police Service were shot and killed in the line of duty. I have decided to interrupt this week's series in order to pay tribute to them. Constables Travis Jordan and Brett Ryan had 15 years service between them.
Starting top left going clockwise
1. After signing books of condolences at City Hall l took a picture of the flags at half mast.
2. I drove down to Constable Ezio Faraone Park and took a picture of Constable Faraone who was killed in the line of duty in 1990.
3. Flowers in front of the downtown police station.
They sound like dedicated and brave officers who gave their all to keep others safe. I am sorry for the loss both to their fellow officers, the city and to their families.
I just read about this tonight; such a sad loss. Our local police have their flags at half in sympathy/solidarity. These are nice shots of Edmonton's tributes!
@bellasmom Dina you're welcome. It was the least I could do. Dina anytime my wife and l have the opportunity to talk to police officers wetake a moment to thank them for their service and to let them know that we appreciate all they do
@randystreat Kathy my wife and l every time we are able to talk to police officers we thank them for their service and let them know that we appreciate all they do
