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 law enforcement officers are 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 officers serve; 

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 (36 U.S.C. 136) (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 the 38th Annual National Peace Officers Memorial 

Service honors the 159 law enforcement officers killed in 

the line of duty in 2018, including— 

(1) William H. Allee; 

(2) Michael J. Anson;
