Today, the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office joins communities across our nation in recognizing Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States.
Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, the day federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to ensure that all enslaved people were freed—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. This day stands as an important reminder of our nation’s history, the ongoing pursuit of freedom and equality, and the resilience of those who endured injustice.
As we commemorate Juneteenth, we honor the significance of this historic day and reaffirm our commitment to serving every member of our community with fairness, dignity, respect, and integrity.
