BY: M. of A. Pheffer Amato

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 5, 2026, as Police Memorial Day in the State of
 New York

 WHEREAS, Police Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those
police officers who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty; and

 WHEREAS, Police Memorial Day is a day to reflect upon the selfless
contributions made each day by police officers to protect our society
and well-being; and

 WHEREAS, In New York State, 26 police officers died in 2024; and

 WHEREAS, In 2026, 54 names will be added to the State of New York
Police Officers Memorial, further solemnizing the enduring sacrifice
made by members of law enforcement across the State; and

 WHEREAS, By commemorating May 5, 2026, as Police Memorial Day in New
York State, this Legislative Body honors those officers who have given
their lives in the satisfaction of their duties, offers comfort to the
family members and fellow officers left behind, and recognizes the loyal
servitude by all police officers in New York State which permits us to
thrive in a safe, free, and just society; and

 WHEREAS, As an unending emblem of appreciation of the people of New
York State, in 1989, this Legislative Body sanctioned the creation of a
Police Memorial at the State Capitol, revering all police officers in
New York State who have given their lives in the line of duty; now,
therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body join in veneration with
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 5, 2026, as Police Memorial Day in
New York State, certain that such course of action mirrors our
collective dedication to maintain the fundamental nature of freedom
which is our American heritage; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York, appropriate officers and members of the police community, and the
loving survivors of the brave officers who have died in New York State.
