MIDLAND, Texas — The Midland Police Department has unveiled the sign for the Nathan Hayden Heidenberg Memorial Highway.
The sign will mark a stretch of FM 307 in honor of MPD Officer Heidelberg, who was killed in the line of duty in March 2019.
MPD unveiled the sign at the department's training facility, also located on FM 307.
The stretch of road now designated in memory of the fallen officer connects the law enforcement center with Greenwood Cemetery, his burial site.
He was a very important part of our lives at the Midland Police Department," said MPD Deputy Chief Greg McCright.
"What we hope to do with today is to be able to memorialize him so that every time we drive down this road we remember the sacrifice that he provided," McCright said.
