According to KSFY TV, all the names of South Dakota's fallen officers, dating back to 1884, will be read.

The ceremony will include special music and comments from notable community leaders.

Following the event, the community is encouraged to leave out blue lights and string blue lights on a Christmas tree to honor fallen officers.
