Clarkstown, NY – National Police Week is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who serve and protect our communities. Established by President John F. Kennedy in 1962, May 15th has been designated as Peace Officers Memorial Day, and the week in which it falls is recognized as Police Week.
During this week, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Clarkstown Police Chief Jeff Wanamaker and all the dedicated officers of the Clarkstown Police Department. These officers serve with honor, courage, and distinction, contributing significantly to making Clarkstown one of the safest towns in the country to live and work.
We acknowledge and appreciate the tireless efforts of all law enforcement personnel who serve our communities, towns, cities, and nation. This week is also a poignant reminder to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their bravery and commitment to protecting the public will never be forgotten.
The Clarkstown Police Department invites the community to join them in their annual ceremony on May 18th at 9 am, located at 20 Maple Ave, New City. This event serves as an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers and to show support for those who continue to serve.
As we observe National Police Week, let us remember the importance of law enforcement in maintaining safety and justice within our society. We thank all officers for their unwavering dedication and service.
