Virgin Islands Police Department Pays Tribute to Officers


In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers
Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week.
Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special
recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the
safety and protection of others. The Virgin Islands Police Department will be commemorating this
year’s Police week with the following events starting on Sunday, May 15, 2022.
