As we start 2026, we can look back and note that we have been very fortunate to not have lost anyone in Canada to a Line of Duty Death (LODD) these last two years. Since the launch of the Memorial Ribbon website 24 years ago in 2002, we have not had one year, let alone two in a row, where we have been this fortunate.
We know that the type of work required in law enforcement puts us in harm’s way and at some point, we will inevitably lose someone. We are realistic in knowing that we must all prepare for that moment.
As the national memorial symbol, the Police & Peace Officers’ Memorial Ribbon Society works on being prepared so that we are not scrambling if/when an event occurs. We encourage law enforcement agencies to also prepare by having enough Police & Peace Officers’ Memorial Ribbon available on hand by making purchases today during these quiet times.
To purchase ribbons, please email us at info@memorialribbon.org and we will fill the order and expedite them to you with an invoice. Your organization can pay upon product receipt by cheque, credit card or e-transfer.
Thank you and stay safe.
