It's National Police Week
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, May 16, 2018

Liberty National Bank is thanking police officers for their service and recognizing those who have died by placing blue ribbons on the posts in front of the Ada office because this is National Police Week.

President Kennedy signed a proclamation in 1962 designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week.

Employees of the local bank also signed a Thank You card that was mailed to the department.
