Memorial Garden
Thanks to the contributions of generous community partners, the Falmouth Police Department built a Police Memorial Garden. Each year on National Police Memorial Day we honor the memory of Officer Samuel Pierce, and all law enforcement officers who have fallen in the line of duty. Please join us for a ceremony at the Falmouth Police Department on Friday, May 17, 2019 at 10 a.m.
