Today marks a very special day in Joplin. On April 30th, 2022 Mayor Doug Lawson signed a proclamation naming today, July 26th, 2022 as Corporal Ben Cooper Day. It also holds another special meaning as today would mark Corporal Ben Cooper’s 47th birthday.
The media and public are welcome to join members of the JPD in front of the Joplin Police Department at 10:00am as flags are ordered to half staff, we will hold a moment of silence and will offer a special prayer. Please feel free to join us as we remember and honor Corporal Ben Cooper and the sacrifice he made.
