Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 11-17, 2025, as Police Week in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 11-17, 2025, as Police Week in New York State, honoring the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty. The resolution provides context about National Police Week, which was originally established by President Kennedy in 1962 to recognize peace officers and memorialize those who have died protecting their communities. It highlights the significant risks faced by law enforcement, noting that approximately 900,000 officers serve across the United States, with nearly 60,000 assaults reported annually and over 20,000 officers killed in the line of duty since 1791. The resolution emphasizes the increasing number of officer fatalities in recent years, with 556 officers killed in a recent year, and calls for greater public awareness about the dangers faced by law enforcement. By requesting the governor's proclamation, the resolution aims to draw attention to the critical role of police officers and commemorate those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their communities. The resolution also directs that copies be sent to the governor, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, the Concerns of Police Survivors, and the Fraternal Order of Police.
