S. Res. 735
Whereas Federal, State, local, and Tribal police officers,
sheriffs, and other law enforcement officers across the
United States serve with valor, dignity, and integrity;
Whereas each law enforcement officer is charged with—
(1) pursuing justice for all individuals; and
(2) performing the duties of a law enforcement officer with
fidelity to the constitutional and civil rights of the public
the officer serves;
Whereas law enforcement officers swear an oath to uphold
the public trust even though, through the performance of the
duties of a law enforcement officer, the officers may become
targets for senseless acts of violence;
Whereas, in 1962, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy signed
Public Law 87-726 (76 Stat. 676) (referred to in this
preamble as the “Joint Resolution”), which authorizes the
President to proclaim May 15 of every year as “Peace
Officers Memorial Day” in honor of the Federal, State, and
local officers who have been killed, disabled, or otherwise
injured in the line of duty;
Whereas the Joint Resolution also authorizes the President
to designate the week in which Peace Officers Memorial Day
falls as “National Police Week”;
Whereas the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial,
dedicated on October 15, 1991, is the national monument to
honor those law enforcement officers who have died in the
line of duty;
Whereas Peace Officers Memorial Day 2026 honors law
enforcement officers killed in the line of duty during 2025,
