Tribute to Fallen Officers and National Police Week.
To honor 2019 and 2020 Fallen Officers, a broadcast of the Peace Officers' Memorial Service aired on May 15, 2021. National Police Week events normally held in May have been rescheduled to October 13th -17th, 2021, to allow participants an opportunity for in-person attendance. This reschedule was necessary due to COVID-19 restrictions for in-person gatherings. The FOP hopes to have families of our 2019 and 2020 Fallen Officers attend our Tribute in October.
