Agencies across the country typically celebrate during the week of May 15. National Police Week is a reminder to people to pay special recognition to those in law enforcement. It is also a time to honor officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.

The folks in Aldine celebrated a little early. The Aldine Police Department held a cookout on May 7 for its officers. The department also invited other agencies and the community to enjoy some barbecue.

Aldine ISD encourages community members to observe May 15 as Peace Officers’ Memorial Day. It is a day that honors those that have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their community. It is also a day to honor officers that have become disabled in the performance of duty. And it is a time to recognize and pay respect to the survivors of our fallen heroes.

The AISDPD thanks all the sponsors that made the event possible.
