Memorial Table & Special Beer Honor Fallen At New York State Fair
There's a table set up for the two officers at the New York State Fair for Law Enforcement Day. Unfortunately they won't be there this year.
The table is for Onondaga County Sheriff Lieutenant Michael Hoosock and Syracuse Police Officer Michael Jensen who were both killed during a shootout on April 14.

Special Beer For Fallen Officers
You'll find the table at Tommy C’s Food Beverage stand, located near the NYS Fish Building.
You'll also find a special "Here's to Our Michaels" beer. Meier's Creek Brewing Company even created a label so we "Never Forget."
One dollar from every beer sold during Law Enforcement Day Monday, August 26, will be donated to the Police Benevolent Association Foundation who will then give the money to the Jensen and Hoosock families.
Fundraiser for Families
A fundraiser was set up for the families of Lieutenant Hoosock and Officer Jensen after the tragic shooting.
"Both these men spent their lives helping their respected communities. Now it’s time we help them."
