This Memorial Day, the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office honors the courageous men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Their dedication to protecting others reflects the same spirit of duty, honor, and service that guides law enforcement officers every day.

We remember those who never came home, and we extend our gratitude to the military families who carry their legacy forward.

Please join us in taking a moment to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Stay safe and have a meaningful holiday weekend.
