The Arkansas State Police will conduct its annual Memorial Service on May 7, 2025, to honor fallen Troopers who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. This event is held just before National Police Week, scheduled from May 11-17, 2025.
The Memorial Service will feature ASP Troopers and personnel gathering to pay respect to their deceased colleagues. A single red rose will be presented to the families of each Trooper who died while serving, symbolizing their courage and commitment to safety in Arkansas.
