(WZZM) - Two fallen West Michigan police officers will be remembered in Washington DC.

More than 300 names of officers from across the country will be added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Among them are Officer Eric Zapata from Kalamazoo and Officer Trevor Slot from Walker.

Officer Zapata died in the line of duty while responding to a call of shots fired last April. His funeral was held later in the month at Miller Auditorium.

Zapata was the first officer from the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety to be killed in the line of duty.

Officer Trevor Slot was also the first officer Walker Police lost in the line of duty. He was killed last October by two bank robbery suspects while trying to deploy stop sticks on I-96 near Marne.

The city of Walker is honoring Officer Slot with a memorial run next month.

On 5-10-2012, in response to citizen’s tips and complaints, officers from the Kalamazoo Valley Enforcement Team conducted an operation on the south side of Kalamazoo where three search warrants were executed. Two of the warrants were served in the 1400 block of Washington Street and the other was served in the 900 block of Jackson Street. KVET investigated the initial tips and during the course of the investigation, identified three residences involved in a crack distribution ring. The two locations in the 1400 of Washington were identified as crack distribution houses and the residence on Jackson Street was found to be the source or the supply of the illicit drug enterprise.

An inaugural community event that will have Kalamazoo rolling in excitement is Kalamazoo Bike Week, May 13-May 18, 2012. Organized by the Parks Foundation of Kalamazoo County and several other groups like Downtown Kalamazoo Incorporated, Discover Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo Bicycle Club, and Gazelle Sports, this week-long series of events highlight activities that encourage and promote bicycling, and are great for adults and families.
