Today, members of the South Kingstown Police Department were honored to stand alongside our brothers and sisters from across Rhode Island in remembrance of Officer Ryan J. Bourque on the 10th anniversary of his End of Watch.

Ryan’s sacrifice and service will never be forgotten. We continue to keep his family, friends, and the members of the Jamestown Police Department in our thoughts as we honor his memory and legacy.

We are proud to support events like today’s Move with MADD memorial walk and to stand united in remembrance of those we have lost to these preventable tragedies.

Thank you to everyone who donated, contributed, and helped support this important cause and continue spreading awareness about the devastating ripple effects of impaired driving. These are senseless and preventable tragedies, and together we can continue working to prevent them.

Gone, but never forgotten. 💙🖤
