412th Security Forces Squadron members at last year’s National Police Week retreat ceremony.
Team Edwards and the 412th Security Forces Squadron will observe National Police Week with a slate of events May 15-19, 2017.
Police week is a time designated to remember and celebrate past and present civilian and military law enforcement officers, as well as the survivors of those who make the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of their duties. The week is observed to ensure they are not forgotten.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed Public Law 87-726 designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day, and the week in which May 15 falls as National Police Week.
