As we observe National Police Week, it's a time for our community to come together and honor the dedicated men and women who serve and protect us every day. From May 12th to May 18th, we pay tribute to the brave officers who have committed their lives to ensuring the safety and well-being of Bald Knob and beyond.
A Tradition of Service and Sacrifice
National Police Week was established in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy to honor law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. It is a solemn reminder of the courage and dedication that our police officers demonstrate daily, often at great personal risk. This week, we reflect on their sacrifices and express our deepest gratitude for their unwavering commitment to our safety.
