May 15-21, 2026 is National Police Week. This is a time to honor the sacrifices of the men and women who have been lost in protecting our citizenry and to those who bravely go out to protect our streets and communities, events and venues on a daily basis not knowing if that day might be their last. Here at the Department of Veterans Affairs, we have great gratitude for our VA Police who many are also military Veterans, FBI, DEA, DIA, former state and local police who keep our Veterans and staff each day, assist in medical emergencies, help with directions, patrolling our property and responding in crises. So, if you see our VA Police, please stop them and say "Thank You!" for keeping us safe and all that you do to support the operations of the hospital.
