This Senate resolution designates the week of May 10-16, 2026, as "National Police Week" to honor law enforcement officers across the United States. The resolution honors 201 federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement officers who were killed in the line of duty during 2025, listing each officer by name. It builds on a 1962 law signed by President Kennedy that established May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and authorized the designation of that week as National Police Week. The resolution expresses support for law enforcement officers, recognizes their need for proper equipment and training, and encourages Americans to observe the week by honoring police personnel and promoting awareness of their essential service to communities. This is a ceremonial resolution that requires no funding and was agreed to by the Senate with broad bipartisan support from dozens of senators.
