RESOLUTION
Designating the week of May 11 through May 17, 2025, as ``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 each law enforcement officer is charged with--
(1) pursuing justice for all individuals; and
(2) performing the duties of a law enforcement officer with fidelity to
the constitutional and civil rights of the public the officer serves;
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 (76
Stat. 676) (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;
Whereas Peace Officers Memorial Day 2025 honors the 234 law enforcement officers
killed in the line of duty during 2024, including--
(1) Cliff Acosta;
