have designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and
the week in which it falls as Police Week; and
Whereas, the members of Palm Desert's law enforcement
agency play an essential role in safeguarding the rights and
freedoms of our citizens; and
Whereas, it is important that all citizens know and
understand the problems, duties and responsibilities of their
police department; and
Whereas, it is also important that members of our police
department recognize their duty to serve the people by
safeguarding life and property, by protecting them against
violence or disorder, and by protecting the innocent against
deception and the weak against oppression or intimidation; and
Whereas, Palm Desert's Police Department has grown to
be a modern and scientific law enforcement agency which
unceasingly provides a vital public service.
Now, Therefore, I, Robert A. Spiegel, Mayor of the
City of Palm Desert, California, Along With the Entire City Council,
Do Proclaim the Week of May 15 to 21, 2016 as
Police Week
in the City of Palm Desert, encouraging citizens to observe
Sunday, May 15, 2016, as Peace Officers Memorial Day in honor
of peace officers who, through their courageous deeds, have lost
their lives or have become disabled in the performance of duty.
