RES. 383 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 15, 2019 Mr. Guest (for himself and Mr. King of New York ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Expressing support for recognizing the week of May 13 through May 19, 2019, as National Police Week .

Whereas President John F. Kennedy first designated May 15, 1963, as Peace Officers Memorial Day; Whereas it is important to celebrate the estimated 850,000 law enforcement members serving and protecting our country; Whereas members of law enforcement create strong security for communities across the United States, providing support at all hours of the day and night; Whereas members of law enforcement perform a wide range of responsibilities that varies from stabilizing hostile situations to responding to dangerous and unforgiving natural disasters; Whereas law enforcement officers often put themselves in harm’s way for others; Whereas there have been times of tragedy when members of law enforcement have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty; and Whereas this level of dedication to communities across the United States should be recognized and valued: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) acknowledges and honors members of law enforcement for their service to the United States; (2) supports the mission of law enforcement agencies to keep our communities safe; and (3) celebrates the officers and agents who make a positive difference in our country.
