Capito Recognizes National Police Week
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) this week applauded the unanimous passage of a resolution she supported that designates May 12-17 as National Police Week. The National Police Week resolution reiterates the Senate’s unwavering support for law enforcement officers across the United States.
“Our law enforcement officers in West Virginia and across the country wake up every day and choose to protect and serve our communities first and foremost—even if it means putting themselves in harm’s way. During National Police Week, I’m proud to join my Senate colleagues in honoring their heroism and reaffirming my steadfast support for these brave men and women,” Senator Capito said.
BACKGROUND:
Every year, for more than six decades, Congress has passed a resolution in honor of law enforcement officers. During National Police Week, Americans pay special tribute to the service and sacrifice of courageous officers and their families, especially our nation’s fallen heroes.
