In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 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.
National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community.
There are more than 800,000 law enforcement officers serving in communities across the United States of which the 29 sworn officers of the Lyndhurst Police Department represent some of the best trained, most dedicated and proficient.
Please help us honor the men and women of the Lyndhurst Police Department who diligently strive to emulate the Department’s mission of “to protect and serve all with integrity in collaboration with the community” in every interaction.
