Dearborn: National Police Week 2021
Mayor John B. O'Reilly, Jr. and Chief Ronald Haddad recognize and remember Police Officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in protection of the Communities they serve. We stand in gratitude for ALL members who wear the badge in service to our City. It is most appropriate that their service and lives continue to be recognized by the Nation this coming week.
We will always remember : In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
