DALLAS – A group of law enforcement officers bicycling across Texas will stop in Dallas to honor a fallen Dallas police officer.
Senior Cpl. Norm Smith was shot in the head Jan. 6, 2009, while trying to serve a warrant.
The bicycle trek is part of the annual “We Remember” Memorial Trek Across Texas, which honors every officer in Texas who lost his or her life in the line of duty the previous year.
Every year, a group of state law enforcement officers takes the 2,000 mile bike ride remembering the state’s fallen officers.
As they travel across the state, the riders will carry an honor flag with the names of all the officers who died during the past year.
A ceremony honoring Smith will take place at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in front of the Jack Evans Police Headquarters at 1400 S. Lamar St. in Dallas.
During the ceremony, the Dallas police honor guard will accept a wreath in Smith’s memory.
Smith’s widow, Lt. Regina Smith, still serves with the Dallas Police Department.
