For the second year running, National Police Week celebrations had to pivot and adapt to changing pandemic guidelines. The candlelight vigil will again be conducted virtually; public events in Washington, D.C. were canceled. Despite those challenges, LEOs and the citizens they protect still came out to celebrate law enforcement and honor the fallen.
Here’s a roundup of how law enforcement agencies came together to celebrate National Police Week 2021.
