California College of Criminal Justice and Security invites current and
prospective students and local community members to a special National Police
Week event. For more than 50 years, Police Week has been set aside to honor
those law officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This event has been
created to honor these brave men and women who have given their lives, while
providing education opportunities for the next generation of law enforcement
professionals.
