In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Currently, 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.
National Police Week presents communities ideal opportunities to celebrate and honor the hard working law enforcement officers who keep neighborhoods safe and secure. Rely on Metro's police artwork and images, as well as specially produced editorial content to highlight the accomplishments of local police forces.
