“We always remember our heroes. We hope to show that we are all a community and we are all impacted when we lose someone tragically the way that we lost our fallen heroes,” said Captain Tonya Leonard-Gilbert. “We can come together in solidarity to celebrate and honor them.”
Dozens of people came together to honor and remember the three, including the families of the fallen officers.
The Detroit Police Department is planning to make the memorial 5K an annual event.
