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. This year’s National Police Week dates are Sunday, May 15, 2016 through Saturday, May 21, 2016.
National Police Week is a time to honor officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty but also a time to recognize the officers who serve the community day and night, weekends and holidays and quite often at the expense of spending time with their families.
Please feel free to post or email any words of thanks or support for me to share with your Decatur Police officers.
