National Police Week and Police Memorial Ceremony
Location:
Manhattan Beach Police Department 420 15th Street, Manhattan Beach, CA, 90266
This year, May 14th – 20th is National Police Week which recognizes the service and sacrifice of U.S. law enforcement officers. In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15th falls, as National Police Week. 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 and is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community. During National Police Week, Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) promotes blue ribbons tied on car antennas as a reminder to the public that many law enforcement officers have paid the ultimate price and given their lives in the line of duty. It is also to honor those officers who, day and night, stand guard in our communities. Show your support for those fallen officers by flying a blue ribbon from your car antenna. Seeing blue ribbons flying from cars is a tremendous show of support for our fallen officers and those still working the streets. On Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at 9:00 a.m., the Manhattan Beach Police Department will host a Police Officer Memorial Ceremony at the Public Safety Facility (420 15th Street). This ceremony will honor and celebrate the lives of three Manhattan Beach Police Officers who have been killed in the line of duty: Officer Charles Frederick Grau Officer Richard Timothy Giles Officer Martin Lane Ganz
