This week is National Police Week!

In 1962, President 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.

National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community.

On behalf of the Nevada Police Foundation Board of Directors, we extend our deepest condolences to Sheriff Hickox’s family, friends, and colleagues, as well as the Churchill County community during this tremendous loss. Our thoughts are with all who knew and served alongside him.

Thank you Nevada Police Foundation for giving me a load bearing vest.  I've had it for two months now and it has helped significantly in reducing pain in my back and hips.

It is my goal to create and conduct high quality firearms training for State Troopers.  The Foundation's donation of necessary equipment has greatly improved what I can do on the range.
