A memorial marker for late Henry County Police Department officer Michael Smith is scheduled to be unveiled Dec. 29 at 10 a.m. at 378 Jonesboro Road in McDonough, near that road’s intersection with Dailey Mill Road.

A small procession consisting of family, county personnel and law enforcement is planned to the site, and the public is encouraged to line the procession route from the Sheriff’s Department headquarters on Henry Parkway to Industrial Boulevard, right on Hwy. 20/81, left on McDonough Parkway and left on Jonesboro Road to the site.

Smith was killed in the line of duty two years ago, and the Henry County Board of Commissioners voted recently to approve the installation of the memorial marker to honor him.
