In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15th falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
During National Police Week, the Elmore County Commission would like to thank the brave men and women that work hard to keep our communities safe and remember those law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice.
