National Police Week
May 14-20, 2007
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy designated May 15th of every year as
National Police Day. The week in which May 15th falls was thereby designated
National Police Week. This week marks the 44th anniversary of National Police
Day and Week. In honor of National Police Day, flags across the United States
will be flown at half-staff.
