Last night our deputies participated in a cruiser caravan of law enforcement from throughout Summit County in commemoration of National Police Week. The route extended from the Twinsburg Police Department in the north to the Sheriff's Office Training Center in the south.
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.
