National Police Week

Respect. Honor. Remember.

National Police Week kicked off this past weekend with the adding of 488 new names to the Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C., including 155 officers who died in the line of duty in 2005. Each of those officers raised their hand and took an oath to protect and serve their country, and their loss is felt by everyone in the law enforcement community. Events are taking place around the country, and everyone is encouraged to get involved.

To make a donation or visit the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund gift shop, visit law enforcement: National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund - police, cops, fallen heroes. And don't be afraid to offer up a word of thanks when you see your local officers in your neighborhoods, cities and counties. They deserve that, and so much more.
