Irving Police Department

In recognition of next week’s National Police Week (May 11–16, 2026), the Irving Police Department will host its annual Police Officer Memorial Ceremony to honor Texas’s fallen officers from 2025–2026, as well as remember our own fallen heroes:

-Officer Homs – EOW: 7.3.93
-Officer Hawkins – EOW: 12.24.00
-Officer Esparza – EOW: 4.13.07

Each year, we gather in unity to show our unwavering support and ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten. We invite the public to join us in honoring and remembering those who gave their lives in the line of duty.

Our Honor Guard and Motors Unit recently participated in the 2026 Texas Peace Officer's Memorial held at the State Capitol in Austin. This event honors law enforcement officers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Let us never forget those who exhibited bravery and selfless service while protecting their communities.
