PEACE OFFICERS MEMORIAL DAY
May 15 has been designated as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
The OACP would like to thank all those law enforcement leaders who serve our communities in Oregon, and remember those who have made the greatest sacrifice. Heroes are never forgotten.
