Const. Brett Ryan and Const. Travis Jordan, the two Edmonton police officers who were killed in the line of duty, are being honoured on the one-year anniversary of their deaths.
Edmonton Police Service chief Dale McFee spoke Friday ahead of a private ceremony for the pair on Saturday, calling the milestone a "very sombre and difficult day."
"We have spent the last year leaning on each other, honouring Travis and Brett's legacy while grieving the process and processing their loss.
"Despite it, our people did not shy away from their responsibilities they've been bound to. Even in the darkest moments, they showed up remarkably with a lot of resiliency."
Ryan and Jordan were killed by a 16-year-old boy on March 16, 2023, while responding to a family dispute call.
The teen also shot his mother during a struggle for the firearm before fatally shooting himself, according to EPS.
Later, police would determine he also shot a Pizza Hut employee in the neighbourhood a few days prior.
