National Police Week is observed each May to recognize the service and sacrifice of U.S. law enforcement officers, promotional materials mention that special events are held across the country to honor those who have fallen in the line of duty, reinforcing the nationwide impact of these local heroes.

The memorial in front of the Frisco Police building, where the ceremony is to be held, stands not just as a physical monument but as a reminder that the peace and safety enjoyed by citizens often come at a high cost. A cost paid in the lives of those whose duty it was to uphold law and order, and families left behind still feel the weight of their absence as the Frisco PD looks to honor their brethren with both gravity and grace. Members of the community are encouraged to attend, to offer support, and to stand in solemn reflection during the service, which promises to be both a poignant and an important occasion.
