Police Week, May 15 through May 21, 2023, honors all law enforcement officers throughout the United States who have given their lives to safeguard our rights and freedoms.
On behalf of all law enforcement agencies in our community, I invite you to join us in remembering those officers and showing our appreciation for the sacrifices they and their families have made.
Please join law enforcement officers from the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office, Grants Pass Police Department and Oregon State Police to salute their memory Tuesday, May 16 at 10 a.m. on the steps of the Josephine County Courthouse.
