Bill Summary
A Resolution recognizing the week of May 11 through 17, 2025, as "National Police Week" and recognizing May 15, 2025, as "Peace Officers Memorial Day" in Pennsylvania.
AI Summary
This resolution formally recognizes the week of May 11 through 17, 2025, as "National Police Week" and May 15, 2025, as "Peace Officers Memorial Day" in Pennsylvania, drawing on a longstanding national tradition established by a congressional joint resolution in 1962 and a presidential proclamation by John F. Kennedy in 1963. The resolution highlights the historical significance of these commemorations, including the first annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service held in 1982 and the ongoing annual candlelight vigil at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC, which honors police officers who have died in the line of duty. By passing this resolution, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives aims to pay tribute to the service and ultimate sacrifice of law enforcement officers throughout the nation and specifically in the Commonwealth, acknowledging the hundreds of police officers who have lost their lives while protecting their communities.
