Advisory: Vice President JD Vance to Celebrate National Police Week

This week, National Police Week, Vice President JD Vance will celebrate America's law enforcement heroes.

On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Vice President Vance will host a breakfast with members of state and local law enforcement at the Vice President's Residence. On Thursday, May 15, 2025, Vice President Vance will deliver a speech at the 44th annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service at the United States Capitol.

"National Police Week is a reminder of the enormous sacrifices that police officers make for American communities. Vice President Vance and the entire Trump Administration are honoring law-enforcement and, most importantly, they're giving them the backup they need to make America safe again," said Vice President Vance's Press Secretary Taylor Van Kirk. "This administration has ended the Biden Border Crisis, declared the most dangerous and violent foreign gangs Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and endorsed maximum penalties, including the ultimate penalty, for criminals who harm our police officers. Thanks to the Trump Administration's efforts and the hard work of law-enforcement around the country, violent crime in major US cities dropped massively this year."
