The Congress and President of the United States have designated May 15, 2018 as Peace

the members of the San Rafael Police Department play an essential role in safeguarding
the rights and freedoms of all those residing in or visiting San Rafael; and
it is important that all citizens know and understand the duties, responsibilities, hazards,
and sacrifices of their law enforcement agency, and that members of the Police
Department recognize their duty to serve the people by safeguarding life and property,
by protecting them against violence and disorder, and by protecting the innocent against
deception and the weak against oppression; and
the men and women of the San Rafael Police Department unceasingly provide a vital
public service.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Rafael
call upon all patriotic, civic and educational organizations to observe the week of May 13 to 19, 2018 as
Police Week with appropriate ceremonies and observances in which all of our people may join in
commemorating law enforcement officers, past and present, who, by their faithful and loyal devotion to
their responsibilities, have rendered a dedicated service to their communities and, in so doing, have
established for themselves an enviable and enduring reputation for preserving the rights and security of
all citizens.
FURTHERMORE, we call upon all citizens of San Rafael to recognize Tuesday, May 15, as Peace
Officers' Memorial Day in honor of those law enforcement officers who, through their courageous deeds,
have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their community or have become disabled in the
performance of duty, and let recognize and pay respect to the survivors of our fallen heroes.
