Arizona Flag Makes its Way to Washington D.C.
Tuesday, April 19, Arizona Department of Corrections Director Dora Schriro added the names of six Correctional staff members who were killed in the line of duty to the Arizona Fallen Officers flag. The flag has nearly 230 officers names and will eventually have the name of every Arizona officer who has died in the line of duty. It will be unveiled at the Arizona Peace Officers Memorial Service on May 2 in Phoenix. The flag will then be taken by a group of Arizona Law Enforcement officers to the World Trade Center Memorial in New York, then to the National Police Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. The flag will remain there until the National Law Enforcement Museum opens in 2009 where it will be displayed permanently. The following is a list of correctional staff who were killed in the line of duty: Sergeant Jim Stiner, September 18, 1967, Florence. Officer Theodore Buckley, June 22, 1973, Florence Officer Dale Morey, June 22, 1973, Florence Officer Paul Rast, September 7, 1975, Adobe Mountain Juvenile Facility.
