National Police Week 2025
Date Posted: 05/13/2025
National Police Week, a yearly observance in the United States, honors law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. It's rooted in 1962 when President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the surrounding week as National Police Week. The week is a time for memorial services, vigils, and events to pay tribute to fallen officers and support their families.
