The 2019 National Peace Officers Memorial Day Badge marks the 25th edition of the National Police Week commemorative badge

Joint Resolution of the 87th Congress of the United States on October 1, 1962 and first observed during the week of May 15, 1963.

the Ultimate Sacrifice in the performance of duty. This year’s badge is the 25th edition of National Peace Officers Memorial Day
commemorative badges commissioned and offered since 1995 by F.O.P. Lodge D.C.#1, host lodge for annual Police Week activities in Washington, D.C..
Each year these badges are worn by thousands of law enforcement officers nationally. The 2019 edition was designed and manufactured without
compromise with the intention of marking the 25th Anniversary with the most original, uniquely designed badge of the series. This badge combines
two metal finishes (gold and silver) to feature the Strength Through Unity handcuffs logo and for the first time, features survivors (spouse & child)
depicted within the handcuff links with their escort officers visiting the Memorial Wall and attending the candlelight vigil in exquisite detail.
The survivors are protected by a Blue Knight with a shield and sword. Inscribed on the periphery is "National Peace Officers Memorial Day",
"Strength Through Unity," and "May 15, 2019."ALL badges are numbered, hallmarked "Blackinton" on the reverse, measure 3-1/4” tall x 2.5” wide,
are die struck in solid .102 brass and features five hard fired enamel colors and two metal finishes; pure polished gold, polished rhodium.
