Week; and
WHEREAS, the members of the law enforcement agency of East Wenatchee play an
essential role in safeguarding the rights and freedoms of East Wenatchee; and
WHEREAS, it is important that all citizens know and understand the duties,
responsibilities, hazards, and sacrifices of their law enforcement agency, and that
members of our law enforcement agency recognize their duty to serve the people by
safeguarding life and property, by protecting them against violence and disorder, and

unceasingly provide a vital public service;
NOW THEREFORE, I, Steven C. Lacy, Mayor of the City of East Wenatchee, call upon
all citizens of East Wenatchee and upon all patriotic, civic and educational
organizations to observe the week of May 9-15, 2010, as Police Week with appropriate
ceremonies and observances in which all of our people may join in commemorating
law enforcement officers, past and present, who, by their faithful and loyal devotion to
their responsibilities, have rendered a dedicated service to their communities and, in
so doing, have established for themselves an enviable and enduring reputation for
preserving the rights and security of all citizens,
I further call upon all citizens of East Wenatchee to observe Saturday, May 15th as

their courageous deeds, have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their
community or have become disabled in the performance of duty, and let us recognize
and pay respect to the survivors of our fallen heroes.
