Two Ottawa men killed in the line of duty over the past year are among 11 police and peace officers remembered today at the Canadian Police and Peace Officers Memorial on Parliament Hill.
Since 1998, the last Sunday of every September is Police and Peace Officers' National Memorial Day, as proclaimed by the federal government.
This year, there are 11 police and peace officers remembered, including eight who died within the past 14 months:
- Const. Steve Dery, 27, of Ottawa: Kativik Regional Police Force officer was shot and killed on March 2, 2013 while responding to a domestic dispute in Kuujjuaq, Que.
- Const. Adrian Oliver, 28, of Ottawa: RCMP officer in Surrey, B.C., died after a crash between his unmarked police cruiser and a transport truck.

- Const. Donovan Lagrange, 33, of Saint-Jérôme, Que.: Quebec provincial police officer succumbed to injuries sustained when he was struck by a vehicle on Highway 640, near Bois-de-Filion, Que.
- Const. Katia Hadouchi, 23, of Laval, Que.: Quebec provincial police officer was responding to a domestic violence call when she lost control of her patrol car in Saint-Ambroise-de-Kildare, Que. She later died.

The memorial on Sunday also remembers three officers who died in past years but were never previously honoured: Canada Customs officer Frederick Harris, Special Constable Indian Peter of the former Dominion Police Force of Canada and John Rutledge, an Ontario prison guard.
