Bill > HJR1545

This joint resolution honors National Police Week, observed from May 11-16, 2026, and Peace Officers Memorial Day on May 15, 2026, recognizing the critical role law enforcement officers play in public safety and domestic tranquility by enforcing laws to protect life, liberty, and property. It acknowledges the courage, integrity, and dedication of these officers who routinely face danger and adversity, with many suffering injury, disability, or making the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives in the line of duty, a sacrifice that has claimed over 24,500 lives since 1786 and is memorialized annually. The resolution expresses gratitude to current law enforcement personnel and pays tribute to the valor, dedication, and enduring legacy of fallen officers, whose courage will never be forgotten, and directs that an appropriate copy be prepared for presentation.
