Police Week in Binghamton begins today (5/1) and runs through the 9th.

To kick off celebrations, is the 11th Annual Police Memorial Hockey game! It's all happening tonight at the Chenango Ice Rink.

Law enforcement officers from 14 different local law enforcement and corrections agencies will be participating in this event. It all begins at 6:30pm.

Before the game the Edward P. Maloney Memorial Pipe Band will begin the night with Amazing Grace. Cassie Pinataro, a freshman from Chenango Forks High School, will sing the National Anthem.

I'll be trying my hand at announcing! I've never tried announcing for a hockey game, but it's for a good cause.

It all benefits the Southern Tier Law Enforcement Memorial Association & the Annual Criminal Justice Student Scholarship Award. Those who've given their lives in keeping us safe.
