RESOLUTION
Expressing support for recognizing ‘‘National Police Week’’.
Whereas Federal, State, local, and Tribal police officers,
sheriffs, and other law enforcement officers across the
United States serve with valor, dignity, and integrity;
Whereas law enforcement officers are charged with—
(1) pursuing justice for all individuals; and
(2) performing the duties of a law enforcement offi-
cer with fidelity to the constitutional and civil rights of
the public the officers serve;
Whereas law enforcement officers swear an oath to uphold
the public trust even though, through the performance of
the duties of a law enforcement officer, the officers may
become targets for senseless acts of violence;
Whereas, in 1962, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy signed
Public Law 87–726 (36 U.S.C. 136) (referred to in this
preamble as the ‘‘Joint Resolution’’), which authorizes
the President to proclaim May 15 of every year as
‘‘Peace Officers Memorial Day’’ in honor of the Federal,
State, and local officers who have been killed, disabled,
or otherwise injured in the line of duty;

Whereas the Joint Resolution also authorizes the President
to designate the week in which Peace Officers Memorial
Day falls as ‘‘National Police Week’’;
Whereas the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial,
dedicated on October 15, 1991, is the national monument
to honor those law enforcement officers who have died in
the line of duty; and
Whereas Peace Officers Memorial Day, 2023, honors the 556
law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty and
