Proclamation 10831

National Community Policing Week, 2024

This proclamation designates October 6–12, 2024, as National Community Policing Week, honoring police officers and promoting community policing practices. While the text extensively discusses the Biden Administration's past and proposed public safety investments, the proclamation itself contains no substantive policy directives, funding allocations, or regulatory changes—only a ceremonial designation and a general call upon Americans to observe the week by recognizing ways to improve public safety and police-community trust.

Risks & tensions

  • Text references past legislative blockages (George Floyd Justice in Policing Act) and makes partisan-adjacent framing ('When Republicans blocked...') without policy consequence in this document
  • Extensive discussion of past and proposed spending ($37 billion Safer America Plan, 100,000 officers) is descriptive/hortatory, not operative; no actual appropriation or directive occurs
