Rainy weather forced the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) to cancel its planned march Saturday in Pompano Beach to honor fallen law enforcement officers.
The event was set to kick off NOBLE’s 49th Annual Training Conference and Exhibition at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood. It's a four-day event that runs from Saturday-Tuesday.
The organization did hold its planned Memorial Service at the Hopewell Baptist Church in Pompano Beach.
The conference brings together law enforcement executives across the country, including Jeffrey Glover, NOBLE National President and Director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
"The Memorial March and Service pay tribute to the sacrifice of law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty," said NOBLE officials in a statement released Friday.
At the conference, NOBLE officials said law enforcement leaders will talk about strategies for "improving community engagement, advancing social justice and enhancing public safety nationwide."
