National Police Week 2021

What is National Police Week?

President John F. Kennedy declared May 15 to be National Peace Officers Memorial Day, and the week in which May 15 falls to be National Police Week, in 1962. National Police Week was established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962 to honor all law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty for the safety and security of others.

National Police Week Held

Every May, commemorate National Police Week with virtual activities that can be viewed from anywhere in the world in 2021. The National Law Enforcement Memorial and Museum will host activities to keep active officers stable and safe from May 9 to 15.

The Office of Justice Programs will honor our courageous law enforcement officers during National Police Week. This honors their memories by providing a list of services and knowledge that helps and protects law enforcement officers around the country.

To all Police that sacrifices their life to protect communities Thank you!
We are forever grateful for your kindness
