In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution is a formal acknowledgment meant to honor law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. It recognizes the service, valor, and integrity of Federal, State, local, and Tribal police officers and sheriffs. The document highlights the history of Peace Officers Memorial Day and National Police Week. It specifically memorializes 345 law enforcement officers whose stories were recovered during 2024. Finally, the resolution expresses support for the law enforcement community and offers condolences to the families of fallen officers.
