                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
   Designating the week beginning January 2, 1994, as ``National Law 
                      Enforcement Training Week''.

Whereas law enforcement training and the sciences related to law enforcement are 
        critical to the immediate and long-term safety and well-being of the 
        United States because law enforcement professionals provide service and 
        protection to individuals in all sectors of society;
Whereas law enforcement training is a critical component of national efforts to 
        protect the people of the United States from violent crime, to combat 
        the malignancy of illicit drugs, and to apprehend criminals;
Whereas law enforcement training serves the hard-working and law-abiding people 
        of the United States;
Whereas it is essential that the people of the United States be able to enjoy an 
        inherent right of freedom from fear and to learn of the significant 
        contributions that law enforcement trainers have made to ensure that 
        right;
Whereas, to take advantage of the opportunities that law enforcement provides, 
        it is vital to build and maintain a motivated law enforcement work force 
        that is educated and trained in the skills of law enforcement and the 
        sciences related to law enforcement;
Whereas it is in the national interest to stimulate and encourage the youth of 
        the Nation to understand the significance of law enforcement training to 
        the law enforcement profession and to the safety and security of all of 
        the people of the United States;
Whereas it is in the national interest to encourage the youth of the Nation to 
        appreciate the intellectual fascination of law enforcement training; and
Whereas it is in the national interest to make the youth of the Nation aware of 
        career options available in law enforcement and disciplines related to 
        law enforcement: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the week beginning 
January 2, 1994, is designated as ``National Law Enforcement Training 
Week''. The President is authorized and requested to issue a 
proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the 
week with appropriate ceremonies and activities, including programs 
designed to heighten the awareness of the people of the United States, 
and particularly the youth of the Nation, of the importance of law 
enforcement training and related disciplines.
