Alamance County Commissioners Recognize National Police Week
The Alamance County Board of Commissioners signed a proclamation on Monday, May 3, 2021, in recognition of National Police Week (May 9-15). National Police Week is an opportunity to honor officers who have fallen in the line of duty and recognize the sacrifices made by the families of those officers and the families of those who continue to protect and serve our communities
Alamance County Commissioners publicly recognized the Sheriff’s Office and all local law enforcement officers for their hard work, dedication, and commitment in protecting and serving the citizens of Alamance County.
In addition, the Alamance Sheriff’s Office also celebrates National Correctional Officers Week (May 2-8) which acknowledges detention officers and staff for their professionalism, fortitude, and courage exhibited in a complex, demanding, and challenging environment. Last week, the Alamance County Detention Center was one of thirty facilities across the nation to be recognized by the National Institute for Jail Operations and presented with a certificate in appreciation for the excellence exhibited by staff.
“It is a privilege and honor to work alongside the men and women who have chosen a career in law enforcement. Much of their work and the sacrifices that they make go unnoticed, yet each day they are willing to risk their lives in service to others. Thank you for joining us during National Police Week as we honor our fallen heroes as well as those who work to keep our communities safe,” said Sheriff Terry Johnson.
The Alamance County Peace Officers Memorial Day Service will be held at 9:00 a.m. on May 14, 2021, at the Alamance County Fallen Heroes Memorial (217 S. Main St., Graham, NC) to remember and honor those officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the residents of Alamance County.
