Local law enforcement agencies would like to invite the public to honor and pay respect to the local men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in keeping our communities safe. On May 21st, 10 a.m., several area agencies will host the annual Lubbock Regional Peace Officer and First Responder Memorial at the Lubbock Regional Public Safety Memorial, located at 6601 Quaker Avenue, Lubbock, Texas.
