A house RESOLUTION

TO 
RECOGNIZE MAY 11 THROUGH MAY 17, 2025, AS "POLICE WEEK IN SOUTH CAROLINA" AND 
TO HONOR THE SERVICE AND SACRIFICE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS KILLED IN THE 
LINE OF DUTY WHILE PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITIES AND SAFEGUARDING DEMOCRACY.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives 
find it appropriate and proper to recognize May 11 through May 17, 2025, as 
"Police Week in South Carolina," in conjunction with National Police Week, to 
honor the men and women who risk their lives to serve our communities and keep 
our citizens safe; and

Whereas, in 1962, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as 
National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 
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; and

Whereas, members of law enforcement have earned the appreciation and 
respect of the people of this great State for the merit, dignity, courage, and 
reliability they exhibit every day. We also must honor the sacrifices made by 
our police officers' families, who face constant concern as their loved ones 
work to protect us; and

Whereas, in 2024 alone, one hundred forty-seven federal, state, 
military, tribal, and local law enforcement officers died in the line of duty 
across the country, including one in South Carolina. The name of this dedicated 
public servant who made the ultimate sacrifice is State Transport Police 
Officer Mark Reynolds, South Carolina Department of Public Safety. This 
officer's name will be engraved on the wall of the South Carolina Law 
Enforcement Officers Memorial on the State House grounds; and

Whereas, South Carolina's fallen officers and their service to their 
respective communities will never be forgotten. By choosing to commit 
themselves to law enforcement, these brave individuals answered the call to 
service and willingly put their lives in jeopardy. We commend them for 
recognizing service as a noble career and for protecting the public, as we also 
recognize all those officers who are currently serving; and

Whereas, the citizens of South Carolina long have turned to members 
of law enforcement for assistance and support in times of distress, be it a 
personal crisis, civil disorder, or natural disaster. We in South Carolina are 
indeed blessed and grateful for this service. The South Carolina House of 
Representatives, on behalf of the people of the Palmetto State, takes great 
pleasure in saluting our fine law enforcement officers, most particularly those 
who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South 
Carolina House of Representatives, by this 
resolution, recognize May 11 through May 17, 2025, as "Police Week in South 
Carolina" and honor the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers 
killed in the line of duty while protecting our communities and safeguarding 
democracy.
