From City of Reading
The City of Reading is proud to join communities across the nation in honoring National Police Week, observed May 11-17, a time to pay tribute to the brave men and women in law enforcement who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. This week also recognizes the strength and resilience of their families, friends, and fellow officers.
To commemorate their service and commitment, several iconic locations across Reading will be illuminated in blue throughout the week as a solemn tribute:
- The William Penn Memorial Fire Tower
- City Hall
- 5th and Penn
- Penn Street Bridge
“During my time as a Bridge and Tunnel Officer in New York City, I saw firsthand the commitment and sacrifice that this profession demands,” said Mayor Eddie Morán. “This week is a time to remember the officers who never came home, and to stand with their families and departments.”
Police Chief Elias Vazquez added, “We remember those who served with integrity and gave their lives to protect others. We’re grateful to the City for helping us honor their memory and reflect on the values of public service.”
Residents are encouraged to take a moment this week to reflect and show support for the men and women who protect our community every day.
