National Police Week 2021: Honoring and Remembering our Fallen Law Enforcement Officers

JOHNSTOWN, OHIO – Again this year, communities across the United States will honor and remember those law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as the family members, friends and fellow officers they left behind.

This year, the names of 394 officers killed in the line of duty are being added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. These 394 officers include 295 (182 fatalities are COVID-19-related) who were killed during 2020, plus 99 officers who died in previous years but whose stories of sacrifice had been lost to history until now.

This week, and all year long, we send our appreciation to the men and women of the Johnstown Police Department.
