JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii—Joint Base Security Forces (JBSF) came together to remember their fallen comrades during National Police Week, here, from May 15-19.
According to the National Peace Officer's Memorial Fund website, National Police Week was established in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy.
“National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others,” said Senior Airman Jeffrey Custodio, JBSF police services clerk.
Security forces Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers, Marines and law enforcement personnel face potentially hazardous situations every day, whether it be in response to a domestic dispute, a traffic violation at a stop, or on a mission in support of contingency operations around the globe.
This week helps serve as a reminder to appreciate those keeping the community safe every day.
“We have an opportunity to remember our 19 fallen men and women from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam,” said Capt. Joseph Cortez, JBSF operations officer. “This is our chance to pay tribute to those who have died in service to our country.”
This year’s events on JBPH-H included a retreat ceremony, a public demonstration of the JBSF capabilities and equipment, and a ruck march.
