A SusanvilleStuff Photofeature
by Marshel and Jeremy Couso
A crowd gathered at the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office on Friday to share in an emotionally charged ceremony 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 Chief Kevin Jones and Modoc County Sheriff William Dowdy.
Singer Phil Fetterman performed the Star Spangled Banner to open the ceremony.
The annual wreath-laying is one of several events that Lassen Family Services is hosting in October to raise awareness during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
