“Mr. President, this week, I introduced a bipartisan resolution to commemorate National Police Week, which this year began on Monday, May 10, and ends on Saturday, May 16. Senator Leahy, the ranking member of the Committee on the Judiciary, and 32 others have joined me as original cosponsors of this measure. The theme of this year's Police Week is ``Honoring Courage, Saluting Sacrifice.'' Police Week is dedicated to the brave men and women in blue who selflessly protect and serve our communities every day, every week, in every community all across the country. The week affords an opportunity to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while striving to make our neighborhoods safer and more secure. Events are scheduled in Washington, DC, this week not only to remember those officers who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty but also to honor outstanding acts of bravery and service by many others. Tens of thousands of police officers, as well as their friends and family members, will gather in our Nation's Capital for these events, which include a candlelight vigil and a Police Unity Tour arrival ceremony, among other events. On this day, the 34th Annual National Peace Officers Memorial Service takes place here on the Capitol grounds.…”
