This week we celebrate National Police Week by recognizing the service and sacrifice made by law enforcement across the country.

As former Federal and Tribal law enforcement officers, we know first-hand the dedication required by men and women who have committed their lives to serving others. In many Tribal communities, officers are working twelve hour shifts, many without back-up for miles, and respond quickly and efficiently to very violent and dangerous situations. Their courage and discipline is demonstrated everyday and frequently goes unnoticed. Every year these dedicated officers miss birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays to ensure the safety of our communities.

This month, the Indian Law Enforcement Memorial honored seven officers who died in the line of duty. In Indian Country alone, ninety-five officers have honorably served and paid the ultimate sacrifice. There is no telling how many numerous lives these officers touched and saved throughout their careers. They are among the everyday heroes that serve as positive role models in our Tribal communities.

Please join us and take a minute out of your day, no matter where you live, and thank an officer for their sacrifice and service. A simple “thank you” may not adequately show our true appreciation, but it’s the least we can do to show our gratitude and respect for these brave men and women.
