This memorial page is dedicated to The Glendale Police Department officers who paid the ultimate price.... And thier families.

Sadly, across the country, many law enforcement officers will lose their lives this year while performing their duties. The Steve Young Memorial Scholarship Program, created by a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, is administered by the National Fraternal Order of Police Foundation to assist the spouses of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

Two Glendale police officers have lost their lives in the line of duty. These brave heroes, their families and loved ones are always in our hearts and minds.

We honor these brave officers and their families.
