May 12-18 is National Police Week in Ramsey County
The board of commissioners has designated May 12-18, 2024 as National Police Week in Ramsey County, and publicly salutes the service of law enforcement officers in our community and in communities across the nation. The service and sacrifice of Ramsey County suburban law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty will be honored during the Ramsey County Suburban Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony on May 16, 2024.
National Police Week was established by a joint resolution of the United States Congress in 1962 and pays special recognition to law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
Everyday law enforcement officers are the first to be on the scene to help those in need and are dedicated to serving the community. There are approximately 800,000 law enforcement officers serving in communities across the United States, including the dedicated members of the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.
