National Police Week is celebrated annually in May to offer programs to enhance and promote the health and safety of current law enforcement officers, as well as to host ceremonies to honor fallen officers.
“We are honored to be partnering with the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial Fund for another year, and are grateful for all they do to support law enforcement and their families,” said 5.11 Chief Executive Officer, Francisco J. Morales. “We truly hope this year’s events will help make a meaningful and positive impact for officers and their loved ones across the country.”
As part of National Police Week, the Officer Safety and Wellness Workout Week will broadcast live “Wake Up, Workout Out, and Be Healthy” exercise sessions for officers every morning from Sunday, May 9 to Friday, May 14. The sessions can be viewed online on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund Facebook page at 8am Eastern each morning
