Peace Officers Memorial Day May 15th and National Police Week

Today, May 15th is Peace Officers Memorial Day. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15th to Peace Officers, and the week in which it falls as National Police Week!

National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America's law enforcement community.

Principal organizers of National Police Week are:

• National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF), which sponsors the annual Candlelight Vigil at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.
• Fraternal Order of Police/Fraternal Order of Police Auxiliary (FOP/FOPA), which organize the Peace Officers Memorial Day Service at the U.S. Capitol.
• Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), which holds the National Police Survivors' Conference.
