(KAIR)--A Leavenworth Police Officer is among the members of law enforcement whose names were added to the Kansas Law Enforcement Monument for 2018.

Patrolman E. Clay Thompson was killed on the night of October 28, 1925, while he and another officer were walking the southwest beat on Leavenworth's Second Avenue.

It was there that a passing motorist struck Thompson, who died from his injuries a short time later after being transported to St. John's Hospital.

According to a news release from the Kansas Highway Patrol, the driver stopped after striking Thompson and cooperated with the investigation.

Thompson's name, along with those of three others, was added to the monument as part of ceremonies held as part of National Police Week and National Peace Officers' Memorial Day.

The 23rd annual Kansas Law Enforcement Memorial Candlelight vigil was held Thursday night at the Kansas Statehouse, in Topeka, while the 36th annual Kansas Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony was held Friday afternoon.
