This week, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities during National Police Memorial Week, May 11–15.

National Police Memorial Week is a time for our nation to come together to recognize and remember law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty while protecting others. It is also a time to show support and appreciation for the officers who continue to serve with courage, integrity, and dedication every day.

Throughout the week, memorial ceremonies, moments of remembrance, and tributes are held across the country to ensure the legacies of fallen officers are never forgotten. Behind every badge is a family, a story, and a commitment to serving others — often at great personal sacrifice.

We remember the heroes who gave everything in the name of public safety, and we stand alongside the families, friends, and fellow officers who carry their memory forward.

Please join us this week in honoring our fallen heroes and recognizing the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers and their loved ones.
