in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congress asks the President to declare Police Week every year. The week including May 15 would honor police officers. The President is also asked to invite people to fly the flag at half-staff.

This section asks — but does not require — the President to issue a yearly proclamation about Police Week. (1) The proclamation would name the week in which May 15 falls as Police Week. This would recognize the service of the men and women who protect the people of the United States through law enforcement. (2) The proclamation would also invite state and local governments, and the people of the United States, to observe Police Week with fitting ceremonies and activities — including flying the flag at half-staff.
