OPINION: Let's make every week National Police Week
Josh Hurwit
This week is National Police Week, a tradition that began in 1962 when President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. In our Nation’s capital, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers will participate in ceremonies to honor those officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.
In Idaho, our duty to honor those officers is even more clear this year due to the killing only weeks ago of Ada County Sheriff’s Deputy Tobin Bolter. I hope that the outpouring of sorrow and support expressed throughout Idaho has provided a measure of comfort to our law enforcement community in the wake of this incomprehensible loss.
