MORGAN COUNTY, AL (WAFF) -
Fallen officers are being remembered across the country this week.
Wednesday morning, the State Attorney General, Luther Strange, met with officers in Decatur.
He took part in Morgan County's Annual Law Enforcement Memorial Service.
Families of fallen officers were honored as people gathered to remember those who died while protecting the community.
"They do it for selfless reasons. The put themselves on the line ever day and we just can't thank them enough. As Attorney General, on behalf of all the citizens, I take every opportunity I can to thank the ones who are doing it every day and to honor the memory of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice," said Strange.
Three Alabama law enforcement officers lost their lives in the line of duty in 2011. This year, Mobile officer Steven Green died after a robbery suspect stabbed him in February.
