In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which may 15 falls, as National Police Week. National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community.
Several of our Honor Guard members were able to attend Police Week in Washington D.C. and were given a tour of the White House. This is a special honor that we were grateful to partake in.
