, had his name added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington D.C. in a ceremony on May 13.
Ashworth is the first St. George officer and also the first from Washington County to have a place on the wall, which honors more than 23,000 law enforcement officers nationwide who have died in the line of duty since 1786. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, which oversees the memorial, and other law enforcement consider officers who died of COVID-19 as dying in the line of duty. That makes Ashworth the only St. George police officer to have died on duty at the end of his watch.
