The service will be held at Police Memorial Park located between police headquarters and the Hopkinsville Fire Department. In case of inclement weather, Atkins says the service will be moved inside to City Hall. Immediately following the service a light lunch will be served at the police department.
Officer Meacham was fatally shot on Paulette Court while off duty on March 29, 2018, when he was investigating a man who was driving a vehicle and unlawfully using flashing blue lights. Following the shooting, the suspect fled the scene and was shot and killed later that night by law enforcement officers in Clarksville.
