Editor's Note:
Members of the PoliceOne staff have just returned from National Police Week. Each year, this event serves as a valuable reminder of why we do what we do. It also gives us a chance to stand among those who come to pay tribute to the officers who have fallen in the line of duty.
For those of you who couldn't attend this year, we've created a slideshow of images from the week so you, too, can pause, reflect and pay tribute.
