The faces of love, pride, and acceptance at this event, continue to remind me how important it is for these events to take place in small towns across the country.

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15th 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. We honor those that have lost their lives while serving their communities. During that week the MPD honored and commemorated the life of Merchantville Patrolman
