Bill > HR1029

This resolution recognizes May 11 through May 17, 2025, as National Police Week and May 15, 2025, as Peace Officers Memorial Day in Oklahoma, building upon a 1962 congressional joint resolution and a 1963 presidential proclamation. The resolution honors federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement officers for their service, valor, and commitment to justice, acknowledging their oath to protect public safety and their willingness to risk their lives in the line of duty. It specifically remembers two Oklahoma law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty within the past year - Corporal Robert William Sumner of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections and Brian Keith Herbert of the Osage Nation Police Department - and expresses condolences to the loved ones of law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The resolution emphasizes the important role of police officers in pursuing justice, upholding constitutional rights, and building safer and more secure communities, while recognizing the significant risks and challenges they face in performing their duties.
