roclamation
WHEREAS, in 1962, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15th 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; and WHEREAS, there are more than 800,000 law enforcement officers serving in communities across the United States, including the dedicated members of the Santa Clara Police Department; and
WHEREAS, the Police Department provides policing services by both sworn and non-sworn professionals to the City of Santa Clara; and WHEREAS, policing professionals provide quality police service to the public, working together and in partnership with the community, to identify and resolve problems utilizing all available resources; and WHEREAS, National Police Week gives us an important opportunity to recognize and thank those heroes who walk among us—-the men and women of courage and character who think of others before themselves, no matter the cost.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, LISA M. GILLMOR, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor, and on behalf of the entire City Council, do hereby proclaim May 11-17, 2025, as
NATIONAL POLICE WEEK
in the City of Santa Clara and do hereby urge all citizens of the City of Santa Clara to celebrate their courage, thank them for their service, and honor those who have been lost far too soon.
Given under my hand and the Seal of the City of Santa Clara, California, this 13th day of May 2025.
LISA M. GILMOR
