CLEVELAND (WJW) — Peace Officers Memorial Week was already scheduled for the second week of May, and the timing means tributes started the same weekend Euclid Police Officer Jacob Derbin was killed in the line of duty Saturday night.

Monday’s candlelight vigil to honor local officers who died in the line of duty over the years starts at 7:45 p.m. at The Greater Cleveland Peace Officers Memorial site which is located at West 3rd Street and Lakeside Avenue in Fort Huntington Park in downtown Cleveland.

“The commemoration recognizes all law enforcement officers for their dedicated
service, and honors those who died in the line of duty serving their communities,” according to event organizers.

“Please consider showing your support for our safety forces at this event and any of the events this week that are open to the public,’ they added.

Fox 8’s Todd Meany is honored to be a part of Monday night’s event as he will read the list of names of fallen officers.
