Local law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty will be honored Thursday at the second annual Pima County Regional Law Enforcement Memorial Service.
Members of more than 30 federal, state, tribal and local law enforcement agencies are expected to attend.
Included in the memorial will be Tucson police officer Erik Hite, who was shot and killed in June as he pursued a man suspected of a cross-town shooting spree.
Hite will be added to the roll of 41 other Tucson area officers killed in the performance of their jobs since the 1800s.
The service, open to the public, will begin at 9 a.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the Tucson Convention Center, 260 S. Church Ave.
Former Surgeon General Richard Carmona will be master of ceremonies. Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard will be the keynote speaker.
