Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on a Proclamation recognizing May 10-16, 2026 as National Police Week.

National Police Week was created in 1962 after then-President of the United States, John F. Kennedy signed Public Law 87-726 to honor the men and women who risk their lives every day in the line of duty. The law designated May 15th as Peace Officers' Memorial Day and stated that the week in which the day falls should be National Police Week. It is also a time for police officers to honor their fallen colleagues, make sure those surviving them are supported, as well as to remember their commitment to keeping people safe. Citizens and civilians can also celebrate the day by showing some love and gratitude to law enforcement around them. National Police Week is all about honor, gratitude, remembrance, servitude and peer support.
