AI Summary

This resolution recognizes the week of May 11 through 17, 2025, as "National Police Week" and designates May 5, 2025, as "Police Officers' Memorial Day" in Pennsylvania, with specific reference to the sacrifice of Philadelphia Police Sgt. Jaime Roman, who died from gunshot wounds received during a traffic stop in June 2024. The resolution provides historical context, noting that the national observance of Police Week has been held annually since 1962, when President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation, and that an annual memorial service to honor law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty has been held since 1982. The resolution aims to honor the memory of hundreds of police officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in law enforcement in Pennsylvania, specifically highlighting the retirement of Sgt. Roman's police and sergeant badge numbers as a mark of respect for his service and sacrifice.
