National Police Week provides an important opportunity to honor the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who serve in law enforcement, while reaffirming the importance of trust, respect, and partnership between police and the communities they protect. This year, in the wake of the death of Trooper Kevin Trainor, Secretary Kwon and our entire team would like to thank the thousands of troopers and officers from across the country who stood shoulder to shoulder in tribute to our fallen hero. Their presence and support have been a powerful source of strength during this time of profound loss. In the wake of this tragedy, we echo the words of Governor Maura Healey, who encouraged people to “go out and find a police officer, find a trooper, and take the time to give them a hug” — a simple but meaningful reminder to show appreciation for those who put themselves in harm’s way to protect others every day
