The National Police Week 5K is proudly hosted by the Officer Down Memorial Page |
Each year, The Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP) proudly hosts the National Police Week 5K (NPW5K) in Washington D.C. to kick off National Police Week.
As the 2015 NPW5K approaches, we at ODMP would like to recognize those who support the law enforcement community: the individuals across the country and around the world who acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifice of the men and women behind the badge.
These people make up what we like to call the Band of Blue.
While the “Thin Blue Line” has long been the symbol that represents law enforcement officers (LEOs) who bravely work to protect and serve the public, those of us who have taken that oath to protect and serve understand that the blue line is made up not only of police officers, but of our family, friends, and community supporters as well.
This May, many members of the Band of Blue will come together to run in the National Police Week 5K.
Together, we will remember those law enforcement officers who have fallen in the line of duty. Together, we will support the organizations that pay tribute to those heroes and provide support to their survivors.
Together, we will make a difference.

We hope you will join us.
Thank you for supporting our LEOs. Thank you for being part of the Band of Blue.
