National Police Week
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy designated May 15th as National Peace Officers’ Memorial Day, and the week containing May 15th as National Police Week. Congress amended this law in 1994, directing that flags on all government building be flown at half-staff.

All uniformed officers are directed to wearing a black mourning band on their badges during National Police Week in memory of the thousands of fellow law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice on society’s behalf.
