In recognition of Police Officers’ Memorial Day in Pennsylvania, as designated by Senate Resolution 111, the Fraternal Order of Police joined Senate Republicans to honor the brave law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty last year. 

The five officers were:
β€’	Chad M. Beattie, Washington County Sheriff’s Office
β€’	Officer Stephen Charles Plum, Jr., Warrington Township Police Department
β€’	Lt. William D. Lebo, Lebanon City Police Department
β€’	Trooper Martin Francis Mack, III, Pennsylvania State Police
β€’	Trooper Branden T. Sisca, Pennsylvania State Police

Like so many other members of law enforcement, these officers served and protected their fellow citizens – despite knowing the sacrifices they and their families would have to make. Thank you to each brave man and woman who defend the safety of our communities.
