National Police Week occurs every May. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund will hold ceremonies throughout the month, including the 36th Annual Candlelight Vigil this year, to honor the fallen officers whose names have recently been added to the Memorial.
This Annual event offers honor, remembrance, and peer support while allowing law enforcement, survivors, and citizens to gather and pay homage to those who gave their lives in the line of duty.
National Police Week draws in between 25,000 to 40,000 attendees. The attendees come from departments throughout the United States as well as from agencies throughout the world.
