Preparations for our annual Heroes Banquet at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in ABQ are underway and you're invited! Unfortunately, another officer was killed in the line of duty this past Friday: Officer Justin Hare of the NM State Police Dept.
This news came a little over one month after the tragedy of Officer Jonah Hernandez of the Las Cruces Police Dept. The lives and families of both officers will be honored at this event, among other nominees. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks. View event info HERE.
