Crowley Police are one of many departments observing police memorial week.
Monday, the department hosted a ceremony honoring fallen officers. That event was the first of many scheduled throughout Acadiana this week.
The memorial service was held at First Presbyterian Church with a motorcade procession before ceremonies began.

The week of observance began on May 12 and will continue through May 18, 2019.
Later this week, the Lafayette Police Department will hold their annual Police Memorial Service at St. Barnabas Church. A motorcade will precede services at 5:30 pm.
