The resolution highlights the bravery and reliability of these officers, as well as the sacrifices made by their families, who face daily concerns for their loved ones' safety.

The resolution also reflects on the tragic loss of 145 law enforcement officers in 2024, including five from Michigan, and emphasizes the importance of remembering their service. It expresses gratitude for the unwavering support that law enforcement provides to communities during times of crisis, such as personal emergencies, pandemics, and natural disasters. By designating this week, the Senate aims to honor the commitment of police officers to public safety and to recognize their vital role in maintaining community security.
