From the National Police week website:
Washington, (March
10, 2021) - Host organizations of National Police Week, which
include the National Law Enforcement Memorial and Museum, the Fraternal Order
of Police and Auxiliary (FOP), and Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S), have
made the difficult but necessary decision, due to the ongoing pandemic, to
postpone in-person events of National Police Week to October 13-17, 2021, in
Washington, D.C. The rescheduling of the originally planned events to be held
May 11-16, 2021, is due to the inability to secure necessary permits in time
for in-person gatherings due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.
The National Police Weekend will
offer the same honor, remembrance, and peer support as the extended National
Police Week, while allowing law enforcement, survivors, and citizens to gather
and pay homage to those who gave their lives in the line of duty.
Today was the originally scheduled day for Police Officer
Memorials.
A few years ago, we visited the National Law Enforcement
Memorial and Museum in DC. Here are some
photographs of police memorabilia, exhibits, and by happy chance, some displays
showcasing police work in northeast Ohio. Images by Pat Dooley photography (no Facebook page
any more, so ignore the byline on one of the photos):
