National Police Week began in 1962 when President Kennedy made May 15 Peace Officer Memorial Day, and the week that follows Police Week.
National Police Week recognizes the service of all U.S. Law Enforcement, but it pays special tribute to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Ashland University's Criminal Justice Department extends its thanks to all law enforcement personnel for their dedication and service.
