National Police Week
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Currently, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, DC to participate in a number of planned events which honor those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
The Memorial Service began in 1982 as a gathering in Senate Park of approximately 120 survivors and supporters of law enforcement. Decades later, the event, more commonly known as National Police Week, has grown to a series of events which attracts thousands of survivors and law enforcement officers to our Nation's Capital each year.
This afternoon, we were honored to participate in the Fallen Heroes Memorial service at Raper-Roark Park in Uptown Shelby where local Law Enforcement Officers and supporters joined together to honor those who gave their lives protecting this community, we will never let your service be forgotten. ...
