Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week, 2026

President Donald J. Trump issued this proclamation to designate May 15, 2026, as Peace Officers Memorial Day and May 10 through May 16, 2026, as Police Week. The proclamation honors law enforcement officers who were killed or injured in the line of duty, recognizes the sacrifices of their families, and expresses support for officers continuing to serve. It also calls on Americans to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities and asks governors and other officials to fly flags at half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day. Trump says the proclamation was issued to pay tribute to police service and sacrifice and to reaffirm his administration’s support for law enforcement and public safety.
