National Police Week
Sunday, May 10—Saturday, May 16, 2015

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.

For several years, Concerns of Police Survivors organization has been encouraging citizens to fly blue ribbons from their car antennas during National Police Week. This year from May 11 through May 17, seeing thousands of blue ribbons flying from cars would be a tremendous show of support for our fallen officers and those still working the streets.
