This week, May 10-16, 2026, we recognize National Police Week, a time to honor the officers who put on the badge each day to serve their communities, often without recognition and sometimes at great personal sacrifice.

Police Week was established in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy to recognize law enforcement officers across the country and remember those who gave their lives in the line of duty.

To all current and retired officers, dispatchers, support staff, and the families who stand beside them, thank you. ⚫️💙⚫️

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms who serve as first responders and to the mothers who stand behind and support their sons and daughters in law enforcement. 💙

Your strength, sacrifice, love, and unwavering support do not go unnoticed. Thank you for all that you do. We hope you have a wonderful and well-deserved Mother’s Day!
