It was a beautiful day for the Aquidneck Island National Police Parade to honor all of the fallen officers!
The Pawtucket Police Department was represented by the Honor Guard, Motorcycle Unit, K-9 unit, and members from every division within the Department. They appreciated seeing everyone along the route and all the words of appreciation.
The 38th Aquidneck Island National Police Parade was held on May 7 at 11:50 a.m., starting at 317 West Main Road in Middletown, heading south on Broadway, and ending in Washington Square, Newport, at a review stand. There were awards for the best honor guard, best uniform, and best cruiser.
