On Friday, October 6th, on the lawn at the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office, the annual wreath laying ceremony was held honoring the memory of Lassen County Deputy Larry Griffith, Susanville Police Officer Robert McElrath, Modoc County Deputy Jack Hopkins and other law enforcement personnel who put their lives on the line to protect victims of crime and to end domestic violence in our community.
Speakers included Lassen County Sheriff Dean Growdon, Susanville Police Sergeant Alan Sobol and Modoc County Sheriff Tex Dowdy.
Singer Abby Datema performed the Star-Spangled Banner and Lassen Family Services’ Executive Director Angela Reed spoke.
The annual wreath-laying is one of several events that Lassen Family Services hosts each October to raise awareness during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
