National Police Week starts with memorial

To The Eagle:

This year National Police Week runs Monday May 15 through Sunday May 21, with National Peace Officers Memorial Day starting on Monday. This is a week of reflection, honor, and celebration for law enforcement officers across the nation. Peace Officers Memorial Day honors the ultimate sacrifice made by tens of thousands of officers throughout history in protecting and serving our communities across the country. In the U.S. over 20,800 officers have lost their lives in the line of duty. The week is set aside to honor peace officers and the commitment our men and women make every day when they put on the uniform to keep communities safe.
