Every year the week which contains May, 15th is designated as “National Police Week”. This year at least 134 names will be added to the memorial wall in Washington, D.C. Between 25,000 - 40,000 members of law enforcement, family, friends, and supporters come together in Washington, DC to honor the more than 21,000 LEOs who have fallen in the line of duty.
We invite everyone in Diplomatic Security to take time out of your schedule and participate in the great events during this week. Please see the links below for the schedule of events. There are formal events at Judiciary Square and informal events at RFK Stadium which include music and displays.
Team-DSS:
We invite all employees, contractors, family members, and friends to come walk/run as part of Team-DSS. NPW is a family event and we want you there! The overall team time is an average of the top three finishers from each team, not the entire team. Therefore, feel free to walk, stroll, or jog. Everyone is welcome at this amazing annual experience.
How to Participate:
If you wish to join Team DSS at the NPW 5K in Washington, DC on Saturday, May 09 please sign up HERE. When you sign up, use Team Name "Diplomatic Security". The registration fee goes directly to support funds which support fallen LEOs.
In addition to the NPW 5K running shirt you will receive a Team-DSS running shirt. The Team-DSS shirt will be paid for by DSSAA. The last day to register and receive a Team-DSS shirt is April 26th! Please see the DSSAA website for more information.
NPW 5K at Post:
NPW 5k allows overseas teams to register and participate. Traditionally overseas teams form their own teams and host a 5K that day without formal registration. Just notify DSSAA and provide pictures. Team DSS shirts are available for purchase HERE and include free shipping to CONUS/APO/FPO/DPO addresses. All profits go to the Diplomatic Security Foundation (DSF).
Remember to send us photos of your event so we can post them on our websites and on social media!
