National Police Week occurs every May, and in 2021 Cape Charles is commemorating it with a memorial in the park.
In 2021, the names of 394 officers killed in the line of duty were added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. These 394 officers included 295 (182 fatalities are COVID-19-related) officers who were killed during 2020, plus 99 officers who died in previous years but whose stories of sacrifice had been lost to history until now.

No matter what state, God Bless our police, sheriff’s, highway patrol and all officers I did not mention. Thank you, no matter what you have protected us in more ways than one.
Paul Plante says
I’m surprised BLACK LIVES MATTER isn’t there to protest it.
