This resolution declares May 11-17, 2025, as Police Week in Michigan, building on a national tradition established by President Kennedy in 1962 that recognizes law enforcement officers and their sacrifices. The resolution highlights that there are approximately 17,000 full-time uniformed police officers in Michigan serving in over 600 state, county, and local departments, and notes the significant national context of 165 officers killed in the line of duty in 2024. The document emphasizes the critical role of law enforcement in protecting communities, supporting citizens during personal crises and emergencies, and risking their lives to ensure public safety. By officially designating this week, the Michigan House of Representatives aims to publicly salute and honor the service of law enforcement officers, recognize their bravery and dedication, and pay tribute to those who have lost their lives while serving their communities, while also acknowledging the constant fear and sacrifice experienced by police officers' families.
