text: In honor of National Peace Officers Memorial Day, IÛªd like to thank our law enforcement officials who have bravely and tirelessly worked to keep our communities safe. About 140-160 officers are killed in the line of duty each year and their families and co-workers are left to cope with the tragic loss. We take this day to honor our law enforcement officials who have dedicated their lives to our safety and unfortunately paid the ultimate sacrifice for our protection. Taking place during Police Week, thousands of law enforcement officers travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in events honoring these men and women.  I thank our law enforcement officials who have bravely and tirelessly worked to keep our communities safe.
