Recently, members of the Erie County Legislator Chris Greene sponsored a resolution to celebrate National Police Week in Erie County.

National Police Week is celebrated annually to recognize the brave men and women who put the safety of others above their own to serve and protect their communities. Policemen are the first line of defense when there is an emergency. In addition to recognizing their hard work and bravery, National Police Week also raises awareness of the problems, duties and responsibilities of local police departments.

Legislator Greene said, "Bravery, courage and compassion—those are just a handful of the characteristics of a great police officer. Thank you to all of the men and women who proudly put on that uniform every single day to protect and serve your community."
