In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and designated the calendar week in which May 15 falls as National Police Week. Peace Officers Memorial Day pays special recognition to law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty while protecting the safety of others.

National Police Week recognizes the contributions of law enforcement personnel across the nation. Each day, officers put on their uniforms without knowing what challenges lie ahead. They have answered a call to public service that is both demanding and often dangerous.

This week, the City of Claremont thanks the officers of the Claremont Police Department for their service to the community and honors those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
