The Morrow County Board of Commissioners on May 11, 2026, read and approved a proclamation recognizing May 2026 as National Police Week in the county and encouraging residents to join in recognition of law enforcement service and sacrifice.
The proclamation recited national context and local service, saying in part that the board "publicly salute the service of law enforcement officers in our community and in communities across the nation." The text names Deputy Daniel Westenshear and states he was a Morrow County Sheriff's Office deputy who was killed in the line of duty on 05/26/2026.
Commissioners moved and seconded the proclamation and recorded affirmative votes. After the proclamation the group posed for a photograph.
The proclamation will be filed with the county records; the board did not record additional action or follow-up steps related to the item during the meeting.
