•SRES 215 ATS 

Whereas Federal, State, local, and Tribal police officers, 

sheriffs, and other law enforcement officers across the 

United States are charged with— 

(1) protecting and serving their communities and the 

public; 

(2) pursuing justice for all individuals; and 

(3) 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, through a pandemic and at the cost of their own 

lives, law enforcement officers have continued to bravely 

meet the call of duty to ensure the security of their 

neighborhoods and communities; 

Whereas the resolve to service is clearly demonstrated by law 

enforcement officers across the United States who have 

tragically fallen ill as a result of, or passed away due to 

complications from, COVID–19 contracted in the line of 

duty; 

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 Peace Officers Memorial Day, 2021, honors the 306 

law enforcement officers, who served with valor, dignity, 

and integrity, killed in the line of duty in 2020, including— 

(1) Raymond C. Abear;
