In commemoration of National Police Week, Virgin Islands Delegate to Congress Stacey Plaskett released the following statement:
“Law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to ensure the safety and security of our communities. With endless dedication they bear a great responsibility, as their family and friends share their sacrifices. I know first-hand that sacrifice, as the daughter of a 30-year retired NYPD officer and granddaughter of a former Virgin Islands Deputy Police Commissioner. While we should honor their acts of valor and memorialize the sacrifice of the fallen daily, National Police Week affords us the opportunity to join together as a nation to honor their courage and salute their sacrifice.”
