President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation in 1962 that designated May 15 as Peace Officers’ Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as National Police Week.

Tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, D.C., during Police Week to participate in a number of planned events that honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The memorial service began in 1982 as a gathering in Senate Park of about 120 survivors and supporters of law enforcement.

There have been 348 Line of Duty deaths in the United States as of April 23 this year.

The Clallam County Sheriff’s office will host a bell ringing ceremony at Liberty Park next to the Clallam County Courthouse in Port Angeles at 1:30 p.m. May 17 to honor those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
