Statewide Memorial to the Fallen & TOP COP
MSCPS brings law enforcement and communities together to remember officers who died in the line of duty and recognize those serving today.
We remember their service and sacrifice.
The Police Memorial is a time for families, fellow officers, and communities to honor those lost in the line of duty. We approach their stories with care and keep remembrance distinct from the award celebration.
Fallen officers Jeremy Malone and Troy Floyd were honored and remembered at the May 13, 2025 Police Memorial and Appreciation Luncheon in Jackson. Both were killed in the line of duty in 2024.
