Albert J. Franklin added to KLEMF Monument By Kelly Foreman Richmond, KY - On Thursday, May 26, 2022, Gov. Andy Beshear, along with the Kentucky Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation (KLEMF) and the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT), honored the Kentucky law enforcement officers who lost their lives in 2021 in service to the commonwealth. The Governor said that 12 officer names have been added to the KLEMF monument this year including five historical honorees. Among the historical honorees was Metcalfe County Deputy Sheriff Albert J. Franklin, end of watch Nov. 11, 1913. "It is truly a selfless sacrifice when one voluntarily chooses to wear the badge of honor that places them in dangerous and unpredictable situations," Gov. Beshear said during the 22nd annual memorial ceremony. "Today, we show our appreciation for these officers' heroism, and we recognize that our public safety, our freedom and our prosperity were bought at a price." This year's ceremony honored:
The five historical honorees added to the monument this year are:
Louisville Metro Police Lt. Andrew Rodman, brother of LMPD Officer Nick Rodman who was killed in the line of duty in 2017 during a vehicle pursuit, spoke during the ceremony offering comfort to the families whose loved ones lost their lives this past year. "Moving forward is not forgetting your loved one, but honoring them by living a life they would be proud of," Rodman said during the ceremony. The memorial foundation was established in 1999 to build a monument in recognition of Kentucky officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Once the monument was completed in 2000, the organization expanded its efforts to include an ongoing financial endowment program, which helps Kentucky peace officers and their families with educational, medical and emergency needs.
