Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police
Week is an observance in the United States that pays tribute to the
local, state, and Federal peace officers who have died
in the line of duty. The Memorial takes place on May 15, and Police Week
is the calendar week in which the Memorial falls. The event is sponsored by the
National Fraternal Order of Police and is
implemented by the National FOP Memorial Committee.
Other events of National Police Week include the annual Blue Mass, Candlelight Vigil, Wreath Laying
Ceremony, National Police Survivors Conference, Honor Guard Competition, and
the Emerald Society & Pipe Band March and Service. The events draw 25,000
to 40,000 law enforcement officers and their families to Washington, D.C. every
year.
