Highlights From Police Week 2025 - Denver Police Museum

Police Week 2025 was another big success with a number of special events and tributes to our fallen officers and legacy Denver Police Families and innovators. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Blue Hat Foundation and the Denver Police Foundation for their support of the lunch following this year’s formal memorial ceremony in the courtyard of Denver Police Headquarters.

Thanks to the hard work of Denver Police Museum Secretary Linda Remley, over 35 fallen officer family members attended the reception hosted by Chief Thomas and participated in the formal ceremony afterwards. Fallen Officer James Shannon’s family attended the ceremony for the first time. We recognized Officer Shannon in April on the one hundredth anniversary of his end of watch on April 4, 1925.

We would also like to acknowledge the Denver Office of Special Events for lighting the Denver City and County Building blue for Police Week. The lighting of the building was designed to honor the nearly 8,000 individuals who have served our city as Denver Police Officers and the 78 officers who have fallen since 1859.
