Nebraska Law Enforcement Memorial Events
The Nebraska Law Enforcement Memorial is host to two extremely important events which pay tribute to the individuals whose names are etched into the memorial walls.
Each takes place during National Police Week, a time frame designated by President John F. Kennedy in 1962. Established by a joint resolution of Congress, 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. Don't forget to mark your calendar on May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day.
The Annual Nebraska Law Ride is a fundraising event that kicks off National Police Week (Mother's Day weekend). The event, for motorcyclists and motorists who support law enforcement, raises funds for the perpetual upkeep, continued improvements/additions, and etching of names on the memorial.
The Annual Law Enforcement Agency Ceremony concludes National Police Week with a ceremony attended by representatives from law enforcement agencies from around the state.
