WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Julia Letlow (LA-05) and Congressman Michael Guest (MS-03) introduced a resolution memorializing 556 law enforcement officers, including 5 Louisianans, who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

“On this National Police Week, we show unwavering support for our law enforcement officers who selflessly dedicate their lives to protect and serve. Their commitment deserves our utmost gratitude and respect.” Letlow said.

“Police officers make up the thin blue line that protects our communities from crime,” Guest said. “They dedicate their lives to defending innocent citizens from those who seek to do harm, and they provide critical public services that help make the lives of their neighbors easier. It’s of the utmost importance that we continue to honor those men and women who lost their lives in this noble pursuit. This legislation expresses that the Members of the House of Representatives support our law enforcement officers, appreciate all they do for our communities, and honor those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.”
