                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing support for recognizing the week of May 13 through May 19, 
                   2019, as ``National Police Week''.

Whereas President John F. Kennedy first designated May 15, 1963, as Peace 
        Officers Memorial Day;
Whereas it is important to celebrate the estimated 850,000 law enforcement 
        members serving and protecting our country;
Whereas members of law enforcement create strong security for communities across 
        the United States, providing support at all hours of the day and night;
Whereas members of law enforcement perform a wide range of responsibilities that 
        varies from stabilizing hostile situations to responding to dangerous 
        and unforgiving natural disasters;
Whereas law enforcement officers often put themselves in harm's way for others;
Whereas there have been times of tragedy when members of law enforcement have 
        sacrificed their lives in the line of duty; and
Whereas this level of dedication to communities across the United States should 
        be recognized and valued: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) acknowledges and honors members of law enforcement for 
        their service to the United States;
            (2) supports the mission of law enforcement agencies to 
        keep our communities safe; and
            (3) celebrates the officers and agents who make a positive 
        difference in our country.
