Hundreds of police officers, elected officials, and citizens gathered on a rain-soaked Legislative Mall on Wednesday for the 53rd Annual Delaware Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Service.
The observation is held on the first Wednesday in May to pay tribute to the law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
The hour-long ceremony included a roll call of deceased officers, a placement of wreaths, and remarks from Lauren Snook, the widow of Delaware State Police Cpl. Matthew “Ty” Snook, who was murdered in a targeted attack on December 23, 2025, while working at a Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) facility in New Castle.
