President John F. Kennedy in 1963 signed the Congressional resolution that each year makes May 15 "Peace Officers Memorial Day" and the calendar week of each year during which May 15 occurs as "Police Week." President George Bush dedicated the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in 1991. This memorial honors all of America's federal, state and local law enforcers. Inscribed on the Memorial's blue-gray marble walls are the names of more than 14,000 officers who have been killed in the line of duty, dating back to the first known death in 1794.
