🖤 Honoring Our Heroes: National Police Week 2026 at NSU 🖤

From Sunday, May 10 to Saturday, May 16, 2026, Northeastern State University Police Department joins the nation in recognizing the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of law enforcement officers everywhere.

Since 1962, when President John F. Kennedy established National Police Week, communities across the country have come together to honor those who have given their lives in the line of duty, as well as those who serve tirelessly every day to protect and serve.

While many of the key events, including the Candlelight Vigil and the Peace Officers Memorial Service, are centered in Washington, D.C., we take this time to reflect on the brave men and women who uphold safety and justice in our own communities.

National Police Week is a time of solemn remembrance and heartfelt appreciation. Behind every badge is a story of service, sacrifice, and family. We are proud to stand with our officers and honor their commitment to safeguarding our campus, our students, and our community.

Thank you, NSU Police Officers, for your unwavering dedication and courage. We salute you this week and always.
