PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (WMDJ) – A new memorial was unveiled Friday to honor officers killed in the Allen shooting on June 30th, 2022.

Two black monuments were dedicated by Floyd County officials including Judge-Executive Robbie Williams and Sheriff John Hunt.

One memorial is dedicated to Prestonsburg City police captain Ralph Frasure and deputies Jacob Chaffins, William Petry, and K-9 Drago, with their portraits etched in the stone under the word “HEROES.”

The other monument stands in honor of all fallen first responders.

“We are not only here to dedicate these monuments to our first responders and the fallen officers, but we want to celebrate the achievements of the fallen officers,” said Judge-Executive Robbie Williams. “We are not going to allow these officers’ legacies to be defined by the events that occurred on June 30, 2022. These were men of character, compassion, and a moral compass that voluntarily placed them in harm’s way.”

The monuments were donated by Derwin Merion of Merion Brothers Monument Company. City and County leaders along with Missy Allen organized the effort.
