Obama delivers remarks honoring winners of National Association of Police Organizations Top Cops Award

May 12, 2012 - Washington, D.C.

Today, we celebrate 34 extraordinary individuals, and we recognize the sacrifices they and their fellow officers make. Some of our Top Cops are still recovering from gunshot wounds. I'm sure that many are, even now, thinking of a partner or a teammate who fell in the line of duty. So we honor their memories today. We honor all those who have put their lives on the line in order to protect their fellow citizens -- even if they were complete strangers.”
