CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 11, 2015
AGENDA#: 6A
PREPARED BY: Mark Elliott, Chief of Police
PRESENTED BY: Mark Elliott, Chief of Police
AGENDA ITEM: PROCLAMATION: DECLARING MAY 10-16, 2015 AS POLICE WEEK IN
THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to proclaim May 10-16, 2015 as Police
Week in the City of Prior Lake.
History
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace
Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as
National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in
1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law
enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the
safety and protection of others.
Current Circumstances
Observance of Police week is to pay tribute to the law enforcement officers
who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and to voice our
appreciation for all those who currently serve on the front lines of the battle
against crime.
In Minnesota this year we are honoring the sacrifice of Officer Scott Patrick
of the Mendota Heights Police Department who was shot and killed on a
traffic stop on July 30, 2014.
Each day the men and women of the Prior Lake Police Department don
their uniform and patrol the streets and parks, homes and buildings, woods
and waters to keep the citizenry safe and protect them from those that do
evil. Each one of them is prepared to pay the ultimate sacrifice to defend
those that cannot defend themselves and preserve the freedoms the
constitution provides to us all.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the city council proclaim May 10-16, 2015 as Police
Week to show our respect to those officers that have given the ultimate
sacrifice, and to the commitment the Officers of the Prior Lake Police
Department show each day.

ISSUES: The City of Prior Lake's police department is a great asset to the city,

daily basis and the sacrifices other officers have made in protecting the
citizenry of this country is a small token of the gratitude they deserve.
