Dear fellow Hanoverians:
From the Town Manager’s Office:
Today, May 15th, is National Peace Officers Memorial Day, a day set
aside to honor fallen heroes of law enforcement. The holiday was first
observed on October 1, 1961, when Congress asked President John F.
Kennedy to designate May 15 to honor police officers. President
Kennedy agreed, and signed the bill into law on October 1, 1962. In
1994, President Bill Clinton enhanced the observance and directed that
the flag of the United States be flown at half-staff on May 15. More
recently, President George W. Bush observed the following: “Peace
Officers Memorial Day and Police Week pay tribute to the local, State,
and Federal law enforcement officers who serve and protect us with
courage and dedication.”
Please join Chief Sweeney and the men and women of law enforcement in
Hanover by sharing in this solemn observation of the courage and
dedication of our police professionals.
Thanks to Town Manager Troy Clarkson for this information. Mr.
Clarkson may be reached at troy.clarkson@hanover-ma.gov
