DETROIT — The Detroit Police Department joined interfaith leaders Wednesday for a march in memory of fallen law enforcement across the United States.

During the 44th annual Detroit Police Interfaith Memorial march, the department revealed a special patrol car with decals of the names of fallen officers on the hood. According to WJBK, the 232 decals are the officers who have been killed in the line of duty since the beginning of the department.

Police Chief James Craig said they were thinking of Officer Johnson, who is currently in critical condition after he was shot in the head while responding to a domestic dispute Sunday, the Associated Press reported.

“Our officers have made the ultimate sacrifice,” Police Chief James Craig said. “We think about Officer Johnson and a speedy recovery. We remember all of the officers across the country that have made the ultimate sacrifice.”
