In 1962, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls each year, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special respect and recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
