LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The 26th annual Law Enforcement Memorial Run, a multi-day run that begins here in Las Vegas and ends in Carson City, kicked off Wednesday morning.
The 434-mile relay honors the more than 150 officers who lost their lives in the line of duty in Nevada.
WATCH: Anyssa Bohanan spoke with one of the participants to learn more about what this means to the law enforcement community:
Each leg of the run represents an officer listed on the Nevada Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. This year, the 158th name will be added: North Las Vegas Police Officer Roscow.
Officer Roscow died after being shot multiple times during an incident in February of 2025. The 46-year-old father of two had been with the North Las Vegas Police Department for 17 years.

"It's an opportunity to pay tribute to the fallen, pay tribute to Jason who absolutely adored the community he worked for," Hyde said. "He was a fantastic father and a great friend."
When asked about his favorite memories of Jason, Hyde said that Roscow was remembered for his jovial nature and for making work fun every day.
"He spent a long time in our traffic division and was just adored by everyone in that division, and we miss him greatly," Hyde said.
