On Monday, May 16, members of tribal and regional law enforcement gathered in front of the Justice Building for a recognition ceremony. “We realized that we have migrated away from the true purpose of what President Kennedy established in 1962,” Justice and Regulatory Department Director, Chris Mimmack stated. “The consensus from staff is that we need to return to truly recognizing what Law Enforcement Memorial Day is about, honoring those officers locally and across the nation that have given the ultimate sacrifice in their service to the communities they serve. Law Enforcement Memorial Day is about honoring those officers that lost their lives in the course of their duties.”
