We deeply appreciate the sworn law enforcement personnel who work to keep our community safe every day! We are fortunate to have a group of such amazing law enforcement professionals.
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. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, 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.
