Hello, I am FBI Director Bob Mueller. On behalf of the men and women of the FBI, I want to recognize and thank all of our law enforcement colleagues, as we observe National Police Week.

This week, we honor and remember those men and women who have given their lives in the line of duty. Their deaths remind us all that the safety and freedom we enjoy do not come without a price.

Those of you in law enforcement know that your jobs involve great sacrifices. Every day, you live out the meaning of words like duty … service … honor … and bravery.

You walk the beat and keep the watch, making it possible for our citizens to live without fear—to go to work and school, to walk the streets of our cities, and to return home each night, safe and secure.

The FBI is proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you, as we continue our work together to protect our families and communities. Thank you again for your commitment and your service. God bless.
