Bill > HRes421

This resolution is a memorial tribute to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty during 2024, specifically honoring the 345 officers whose stories were recovered that year. The resolution begins by acknowledging the critical role of federal, state, local, and tribal police officers who serve with valor and dignity, emphasizing their commitment to pursuing justice and upholding constitutional rights. It references a 1962 presidential joint resolution that established May 15 as "Peace Officers Memorial Day" and the week containing that date as "National Police Week", and notes the existence of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, dedicated in 1991. The resolution formally resolves to: acknowledge and honor fallen law enforcement personnel, express support for officers across the United States, recognize the need to provide officers with necessary equipment and training, appreciate the law enforcement community's ongoing sacrifices and heroism, and extend condolences to the families of officers who died in the line of duty. By listing each officer's name, the resolution provides a deeply personal commemoration of individual sacrifices made in service to public safety.
