Plain City to Join Light Ohio Blue Caravan in Tribute to Fallen Officers

The Village of Plain City will proudly take part in this year’s Light Ohio Blue campaign as a police caravan honoring fallen officers makes its way through town on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at approximately 7:00 p.m. The event is part of a statewide effort to remember law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty and to show support for those who continue to serve.
​
Led locally by Chief McKee, the caravan will enter Plain City from the south via U.S.

Route 42 from SR 29, continue northbound through the village, then turn east on SR 161 to U.S. Route 33. Residents are encouraged to line the sidewalks along the route, wave their Thin Blue Line flags, and help create a powerful display of unity and appreciation.

The Light Ohio Blue campaign, organized annually in connection with National Police Week (May 11–17, 2025), encourages Ohioans to change their home exterior lights to blue for the month of May. It’s a visual way to honor officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice and to express gratitude to those who continue to protect and serve communities across the state.

“We always enjoy a tremendous amount of support from our community,” the Plain City Police Department shared. “National Police Week is an important time to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.”

The caravan is part of a larger route leading to Columbus and is one of many events taking place across the state in recognition of National Police Week.
