A resolution to commemorate May 10-16, 2026, as Police Week.

The bill designates the week of May 10-16, 2026, as Police Week in Michigan. This resolution aims to honor and recognize the contributions and sacrifices of police officers in the state. It serves as a formal acknowledgment of the important role law enforcement plays in maintaining public safety.

Supporters would highlight this resolution as a meaningful tribute to the dedication and bravery of police officers. They would emphasize the importance of recognizing law enforcement's efforts to protect communities and promote public safety. This week is seen as an opportunity to foster positive relationships between police and the communities they serve.
