Honoring Local Heroes During National Police Week Including Marc Brock

It was a somber moment for the nation as we paused to remember law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. A Caddo Parish man was honored during the ceremony.

We are in the middle of National Police Week 2026 and this is a great time to remember the sacrifices made by some heroes. In northwest Louisiana, we have to take a minute to honor Marc Brock, whose left a legacy of service across this region.
