History of Police Week
In
1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a
proclamation which
designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in
which that date falls as "Police Week". Every year since, 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 first official memorial service took place on May 15, 1982. On
that date, approximately 125 people gathered in Senate Park to honor
91 law enforcement officers. Over the past 22 years we have honored
over 3,000 law enforcement officers from around our nation. Today,
the National Peace Officers' Memorial Service has become one in a
series of events which includes the Candlelight Vigil, which is
sponsored by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
(NLEOMF)
and seminars sponsored by Concerns of Police Survivors
(COPS).
The Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police and the Grand Lodge
Auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Police are very proud to be the
official sponsor of the Memorial Service.
