Denver Police Week May 11-18, 2019
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy declared May 15 as Peace Officers’ Memorial Day and this week as National Police Week. The purpose of the proclamation was to pay tribute to the law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and to voice our appreciation for all those who currently serve on the front lines of the battle against crime.
Here in Colorado we have lost over three hundred officers in the line of duty since Colorado became a state in 1876. In Denver, we have lost over 70 officers since the department was founded in 1859.
Thank you for a successful Police Week!
From the Blue Thunder 100 Motorcycle Run honoring Colorado’s Fallen Officers, Blue Prayer Day, and Denver Police Memorial Day to a special dedication honoring Robert Nicoletti and Pups on Patrol—Denver Police Week 2019 was a huge success thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, and supporters.
