COLUMBUS, Ohio – Sunday marks the beginning Light blue Ohio.
The annual nationwide action is aimed at honoring law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty and members of their families. It is also designed to show support for current law enforcement officers across Ohio.
Since last year, nine law enforcement officers have died in the line of duty. More than 800 names are on the State Memorial at the Ohio Peace Officers Memorial in London and more than 22,000 names on the National Memorial to Law Enforcement Officials in Washington.
Light Ohio Blue will have its annual Cruiser Caravan on Tuesday. It will begin at the Columbus, Delaware campus, located at 5100 Cornerstone Drive in Delaware. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost will speak at the event, as well as honor guards and bagpipes.
The Caravan cruiser will depart from the Delaware campus at 6:30 p.m. and head to points in downtown Ohio.
Ohio is encouraged to change the exterior lighting of the house to blue to show support.
