  WHEREAS, Police Memorial Day is a day of mourning for  those  police

their  lives  in  the satisfaction of their duties and offers comfort to
the family members and fellow officers left behind, and  recognizes  the
loyal  servitude  by all police officers in New York State which permits
us to thrive in a safe, free and just society; and
