National Police Week 2023
National Police Week was held in Washington, D.C. to honor courageous heroes who have fallen in the line of duty. National Police Week is a collective effort involving numerous organizations dedicated to paying tribute to the American law enforcement community. Throughout the week, various ceremonies and activities take place to commemorate these individuals.
The events of National Police Week encompass a range of ceremonies which include the US Attorney General Garland Wreath Laying, FBI and ATF Wreath Laying at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, the Police Unity Tour, the National K-9 Memorial Service, the Candlelight Vigil, the National Peace Officers Memorial Service, and the Roll Call of Heroes. Many attendees, spanning from past to present, visit the Memorial Wall, where the names of fallen officers are engraved each year.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial serves as a constantly evolving testament to the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers. Every spring, new names of fallen officers are added to the memorial, representing federal, tribal, state, and local officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in safeguarding our nation and its people.
