Across the United States, ceremonies are held to remember those serving in law enforcement who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.  
  
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office will host a local Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at 9:00 am on the front lawn of the Courthouse. This ceremony, which is open to members of the community, will pay tribute to the six Douglas County law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty:  
  
•    Officer Donald DeSues - Roseburg Police Department - EOW August 7, 1959  
  
•    Special Deputy Ronald H. Terwilliger - Douglas County Sheriff's Office - EOW July 23, 1985

•    Deputy S. Allen Burdic - Douglas County Sheriff's Office - EOW March 11, 2021
