Lorraine Mabbett Editor

National Police Week is May 12 through May 18, 2024. it is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week.

National Police Week is a time to support law enforcement communities while honoring officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
