Proclamation in Recognition of Police Week
Whereas, every day, peace officers face the threat of violence and danger. They routinely put their lives
on the line to defend ours, and the price of that bravery may result in injury, disability, or death; and
Whereas, these men and women sustain peace and order in Bozeman, throughout the state of Montana
and across the United States, and we look to them as models of courage and integrity; and
Whereas, we rely on law enforcement officers to keep our neighborhoods safe, enforce our laws, and
respond in times of crisis; and
Whereas, by a joint resolution approved on October 1, 1962, the President has been authorized and
requested to designate May 15 of each year as "Peace Officers Memorial Day" and the week in which it
falls as "Police Week."
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Cynthia L. Andrus, Mayor of the City of Bozeman, do hereby
proclaim May 15th as
Peace Officer’s Memorial Day
and May 12th through May 18th as Police Week
We take this day and week to honor their service and sacrifice and we remember the fallen heroes
whose selfless acts have left behind safer and stronger communities.
Signed this 13th day of May, 2019 in Bozeman, Montana.
