Bill Summary
A resolution designating the week of May 12 through May 18, 2024, as "National Police Week".
AI Summary
This Resolution officially designates the week of May 12 through May 18, 2024, as "National Police Week" to honor and support law enforcement officers across the United States. It acknowledges their dedication to pursuing justice and upholding constitutional rights, even when facing danger, and recognizes the sacrifices made by those who have died in the line of duty, specifically mentioning the 227 officers killed in 2023 and 45 so far in 2024 as reported by the FBI's Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) Program. The resolution expresses unwavering support for law enforcement, emphasizes the need for adequate resources and training to ensure officer safety, and encourages the public to observe this week by honoring law enforcement personnel and raising awareness of their vital community service. This designation is rooted in a 1962 law that allows the President to proclaim May 15th as "Peace Officers Memorial Day" and the surrounding week as "National Police Week."
