Region
62 is located in Northern Virginia. It is comprised of and serves
members from a variety of jurisdictions, agencies, and departments
from
throughout the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area, including all areas,
cities, and counties throughout Northern Virginia,
Washington D.C., and surrounding jurisdictions in
Maryland and West Virginia. |
The
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
offers
this caveat:
"The 23rd Annual Candlelight Vigil at the National Law
Enforcement Officers Memorial will take place on Friday, May 13, 2011.
The Candlelight Vigil is traditionally held on May 13th,
regardless of the day of the week on which it falls.
Every six or seven years, May 13th falls prior to the official start of
National Police Week, as it will in 2011.
In 1962, President
Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and
the calendar week in which May 15th falls, as National Police Week
determining the dates for National Police Week 2011 — Sunday, May 15th
through Saturday, May 21st.
The Peace
Officers Memorial Day Service, hosted by the Fraternal Order of Police
and the Fraternal Order of Police Auxiliary is always held on May 15th,
again, regardless of the day of the week on which it falls."
C onsidering
all of this rhetoric, and realizing that although the "official" police
week for 2011 may be
May 15 - 21,
there are several activities that will take place BEFORE the
15th. After sorting through the various and (sometimes)
rather confusing dates that have been posted on the various FOP, LEOMF,
and other sites . . . it must be
stated that all of the information on this page comes from these other sources.
They are thought to be correct. Updates will be made as new information might be received.
Until then . . . |

There are no day-care plans made for children who are
NOT children/stepchildren of the fallen officers or
minor-aged siblings of fallen officers. Since there is a lot of
standing and walking involved with the events during National
Police Week, you might consider leaving your children at home
with relatives. Also be aware since there are no day-care
options available at the conference hotels due to liability
issues, you might bring a caretaker with you to tend to your
children while you attend the National Police Survivors’
Conference. The conference is planned for adults and children
are not to attend the luncheons or the seminar sessions.
