Navajo County proclaims National Police Week and National Correctional Officers Week
Summary
The Navajo County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted proclamations recognizing National Police Week (May 11–17, 2025) and National Correctional Officers Week (May 4–10, 2025), honoring law enforcement and detention staff and noting local memorial events.
The Navajo County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved proclamations designating May 11–17, 2025, as National Police Week and May 4–10, 2025, as National Correctional Officers Week in Navajo County.
Sheriff Klaus presented both proclamations, thanking county staff and uniformed personnel for their work and pointing to a May 15 memorial event in Shiloh to honor fallen officers. "We publicly salute the service of law enforcement officers in our community and across the nation," he said while asking the board to adopt the police-week proclamation.
The sheriff also described the county detention staff’s role and said the detention center maintains national accreditation and is among the better-maintained facilities the county reviews. He singled out Commander Garcia and the 60-plus detention personnel for the condition and operation of the jail. "It is fitting that we honor and express our deepest gratitude to the detention deputies of the Navajo County Sheriff's Office," he said while asking the board to approve the correctional-officers proclamation.
Board members thanked law enforcement and detention staff and moved both proclamations for approval. Each motion received a second and passed by voice vote with no recorded dissent.
The proclamations encourage citizens to join memorials and recognition events; Sheriff Klaus invited the public to a May 15 memorial ceremony in Shiloh at 6:00 p.m. to honor officers who died in the line of duty. No additional policy actions or budgetary changes were associated with the proclamations.
