Why should we honor fallen officers with a prayer?
Many people believe that we should honor fallen officers with a prayer to ask God to forgive them so they can go to Heaven. 2 Maccabees 12:45 implies that praying for the dead enables them to be delivered from sin. This teaches that it is okay to pray for the dead to deliver them from their sins which will enable them to receive the Kingdom of God.

Therefore, we can honor them by praying that they receive God’s forgiveness so they can inherit the Kingdom of God.
Can you say these prayers for the protection of police officers?
No, you cannot say these prayers for the protection of police officers because these prayers are for the fallen police officers. Fallen officers are the officers that volunteer to sacrifice their lives while in their line of duty to protect their country and people. Therefore, these prayers are for their families who are mourning the loss of their loved ones and the souls of those officers who have died. You cannot say these prayers for the protection of other police officers since they are still alive.
However, you can say a prayer of protection, asking God to remember them and keep them safe from all dangers so that they can go back to their families. Through your faith, God will hear you and answer your prayer by being their shield and protecting them from all danger.
