Challenge Coins to help fund the appearance of the Westland Police Honor Guard during National Police Week in Washington D.C. are still available.
Many teams of highly dedicated law enforcement officers attend police week to represent organizations from across the United States and Canada. The teams meet in the national capital every year for National Police Week, where peace officers are honored for their dedicated service. May 15 is designated as National Peace Officers' Memorial Day when the nation honors those officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This event is the tribute that these teams give to honor fallen officers and their families.
The Westland Police Honor Guard unit exists to honor and pay tribute to the dedicated men and women who selflessly serve in public safety, and when called upon, will care for the families and lay to rest fellow officers with the highest level of respect and honor befitting their sacrifice.
The goal of the Challenge Coin sale is to fund the Westland Police Honor Guard appearance in Washington for Police Week. The team would represent Westland while performing some of the rituals in remembrance of public safety officers who died in the line of duty. These details would include participation in a Wreath Laying Ceremony, standing watch for the fallen, and a candlelight vigil to honor the fallen.
