ABOUT THE MEMORIAL FUND

HONORING FALLEN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS Throughout the year, and especially during National Police Week each May, the Memorial Fund coordinates events that honor fallen officers, support survivors, and raise funds to maintain the Memorial. New names are engraved every April and formally dedicated on May 13 during the annual Candlelight Vigil. More than 20,000 names are currently inscribed on the Memorial walls.

PROMOTING OFFICER SAFETYThe Memorial Fund serves as a nationwide clearinghouse of information and statistics on law enforcement line-of-duty deaths; maintains a comprehensive database on the circumstances of these fatalities; and publishes semi-annual Research Bulletins examining trends and factors related to officer fatalities.

INCREASING PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONThe significant contributions our law enforcement officers make to American society will be saluted by a grateful nation, once again, when the National Law Enforcement Museum opens directly across the street from the Memorial. The Museum will be a world-class institution that will tell the story of law enforcement in America through exhibits, collections, research, education, and online content.

To tell the story of American law enforcement and make it safer for those who serve.

Founded in 1984, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in Washington, DC. The Memorial Fund manages and operates the Memorial, conducts officer safety programs, and maintains the largest, most comprehensive database of line-of-duty officer fatalities in the country.

THE MEMORIAL

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial is the nation’s monument to federal, state, and local law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the safety and protection of our nation and its people.

The Memorial features two curving, 304-foot-long blue-gray marble walls. Carved on the walls are the names of more than 20,000 officers who have died in the line of duty throughout U.S. history, dating back to the first known death in 1791. Unlike many other monuments, this Memorial is ever-changing: new names of fallen officers are added to its walls each spring, in conjunction with National Police Week.

A number of commemorative ceremonies are held at the Memorial each year, and the site is visited by nearly a quarter million people annually. The Memorial’s beauty and tranquility make it a special place for reflection, contemplation or a quiet moment away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

2011 20th Anniversary of the dedication of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.

ABOUT THE MEMORIAL

The names of fallen officers are engraved on the Memorial walls each year in random order (with a few exceptions, such as the 72 officers killed on 9/11, whose names are all engraved on line 23 of the west wall). Directories—found at each of the four entrance points—list names in alphabetical order and by state, federal, and U.S. territory agencies. Each officer name is associated with a panel number (engraved at the bottom of each panel) and line number. Panels on the west (W) and east (E) walls are numbered from 1 to 64. Line 1 is at the top of each panel; count down to locate the line that corresponds with the line number of the officer name being located. For example, panel 20-W, line 16 refers to the 16th line on the 20th panel of the west wall.

Each of the four pathway entrances to the Memorial walls is adorned with a powerful statuary grouping of an adult lion protecting its cubs.

Sculpted by Raymond Kaskey and George Carr, the statues symbolize the

protective role of our law officers and convey the strength, courage, and valor that are the hallmarks of those who serve.

• Dedicated on October 15, 1991• Built with private donations • Maintained by the National Park Service in partnership with the Memorial Fund• Designed by Washington, DC, architect Davis Buckley

The Memorial sits on three acres of federal park land—plush grass with nearly 60,000 plants and 128 trees, including 10,000 yellow daffodils that bloom in April, making the Memorial one of DC’s most spectacular attractions.

Lion Statuary

Directories

In 2010, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial walls and grounds underwent a $1.1M restoration project, generously funded by the Police Unity Tour.. As part of the restoration, engravers Kirk Bockman and Jim Lee employed a new method to prevent the names from fading.Step 1: After a lengthy stencil and proofing process, a line of names is cut into the stone. Step 2: The first application of Silin stain is applied to the freshly-engraved names to give each letter the necessary color uniformity. This line is then covered and cured for 24-36 hours.Step 3: The final application of Silin stain is applied to the names. This line is again covered and cured for an additional 24-36 hours before final inspection by the engravers.

How Names are Added

5

Each year our Programs Department processes over 300 officer submissions for inclusion on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. These cases include both current and prior year officer fatalities, as well as historical cases. An Officer Data Form must be submitted by the department of each officer to be considered. Officer Data Forms can be found at LawMemorial.org/NamesProcess. Completed forms must be submitted by December 31 to be considered for inclusion on the Memorial the next year.Submissions are reviewed by the Names Committee which comprises members of the Memorial Fund’s Board of Directors. The Committee thoroughly reviews each case to determine if the circumstances of the officer’s death meet the criteria for inclusion on the Memorial. The criteria for inclusion can be found at LawMemorial.org/NamesProcess.For further questions regarding the process of adding officers’ names to the Memorial, contact Research staff at 202.737.3400 or research@nleomf.org.

NATIONAL POLICE WEEKNational Police Week occurs each year during the calendar week in which May 15 (National Peace Officers Memorial Day) falls. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, Police Week gives special recognition to law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty, as well as those currently serving communities across America.

National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring the law enforcement community. The Memorial Fund is a principal organizer of National Police Week and hosts the annual Candlelight Vigil each May 13.

Candlelight Vigil

The newly-engraved names of fallen officers are formally dedicated on the Memorial at the annual Candlelight Vigil.During the ceremony, each fallen officer’s name and end-of-watch date are read aloud. Speakers, dignitaries, and musicians honor these peace officers, as well as their friends and families.

More than 20,000 people attend the Candlelight Vigil each year, and thousands more participate via a live webcast of the ceremony provided by the Memorial Fund through a partnership with Officer.com.

8

Volunteer OpportunitiesThe Memorial Fund’s success depends on the many volunteers and supporters who give generously of their time and energy, throughout the year, and especially during National Police Week (May) and the Law Enforcement Ride & Run to Remember (October).

In May, volunteers are needed to assist visitors at the Memorial and lend a hand at the National Police Week Retail Center.

National Law Enforcement Museum staff members welcome volunteers to help receive and process objects for the Museum collection, assist at educational events like the Witness to History panel discussion series, and other tasks as needed.

In October, hundreds of volunteers are needed to help assist with conducting the Law Enforcement Ride & Run to Remember events. Volunteer positions include assisting with registration, and distributing water and snacks at rider/runner pit stops. Additionally, course marshals, support vehicle drivers, and other volunteer roles, are essential to support Ride & Run participants as they cross the finish line.

We could not accomplish all we do without our volunteers! Thank you.

If you are interested in volunteering to assist us in any capacity, please contact us at 202.737.3400 or volunteer@nleomf.org.

Other Police Week EventsPolice Unity Tour Arrival CeremonyEach May 12, during National Police Week, cyclists with the Police Unity Tour travel from communities across the country to complete their journey to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Their motto: “We Ride For Those Who Died.”

Upon arrival, each rider pedals through the Memorial’s ‘Pathways of Remembrance,’ which flank the Memorial walls.

Part of the Police Unity Tour’s mission is to raise funds for the Memorial Fund. During the Arrival Ceremony, Police Unity Tour executives present Memorial Fund Chairman & CEO Craig W. Floyd with a check for the total amount of funds raised by participants in that year’s ride.

Emerald Society & Pipeband March and Service The National Conference of Law Enforcement Emerald Societies, Inc. (NCLEES) sponsors the Annual March and Service. This event features a number of colorful groups marching to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, and is followed by a deeply moving memorial service for all fallen peace officers—especially those of Gaelic descent.

National Peace Officers Memorial Day ServiceIn 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed Proclamation 3537, which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day, and the week in which that date falls, as Police Week.

The Memorial Service began in 1982 as a gathering in Senate Park of approximately 120 survivors and law enforcement supporters. Decades later, the Peace Officers Memorial Day Service (held at the U.S. Capitol) is a major part of National Police Week.

10

Each National Police Week, the Memorial Fund relies on Honor Guard units to perform ceremonial duties. The Honor Guard activities are coordinated by a team of volunteers, led by the Metropolitan (DC) Police Department, and our Programs staff.

Selection ProcessFortunately, many Honor Guard units volunteer for these assignments each year. However, because the number of available roles is limited, priority is given to those members of agencies that lost a member in the prior year. In the case of assignments for the Candlelight Vigil, priority will be given to members of agencies with a fallen officer whose name is being added to the Memorial, regardless of the year of death. In the event that there are more volunteers than are needed, selections will be made on a random basis; however, every effort is made to accommodate any and all requests.

EquipmentAll equipment is provided by each participating unit, with the exception of the Memorial Fund flag for the Candlelight Vigil.

DeadlineAll requests from Honor Guard units to participate in National Police Week events that take place at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial must be received no later than March 15. Registration forms are available in January each year, and can be accessed online at LawMemorial.org/programs/policeweek/honor-guard/.

Notification ProcessA final list of assignments, including reporting times and places, will be emailed to all participating agencies in April. The schedule will also be available online at LawMemorial.org.

Advanced Check-inUpon arrival in Washington, DC, a representative from each department may check in early to receive the department’s assignment package, during a designated time and location (information is provided with the final list of assignments). This is also an opportunity to ask any questions about duties and locations for each assigment.

Note: Each department should identify one lead officer to check in for the entire department during designated time.

Questions? Contact us at 202.737.3400 or vigil@nleomf.org.

Each Recorded Memorial Tribute, developed by a team of professional researchers, script writers, voice actors, and recording engineers, celebrates the life of a fallen hero whose service and sacrifice are honored at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, thus further enhancing the belief, “It is not how these officers died that made them heroes, it is how they lived.”

Law Enforcement Ambassadors & Guardians are volunteers who raise both awareness and funds for the Memorial Fund. Law Enforcement Ambassadors are active and retired law enforcement officers from local, state, and federal agencies. Guardians are volunteers who support and honor law enforcement, but are not sworn officers.

Ambassadors & Guardians are:

• Committed to the mission and goals of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, including the campaign to build the National Law Enforcement Museum.

• Willing to establish and meet an annual qualitative and/or fundraising goal.

• Able to commit time to attend meetings and cultivation events, and participate in occasional conference calls.

• Familiar with and have access to law enforcement officers, whether within their own department or at other local agencies and organizations in their community.

• Comfortable asking individuals and organizations to financially support the Memorial Fund and the Museum.

Interested in becoming a Law Enforcement Ambassador or Guardian? Contact Law Enforcement Relations staff at 202.737.8539 or LEA@nleomf.org for more information.

Ambassadors & Guardians Program

The journey is long and challenging, but for Police Unity Tour participants, it is something they strive for throughout the entire year. Through fundraising and physical training, their efforts remind all Americans of the ultimate sacrifice made by so many law enforcement officers.

Their motto is simple: “We Ride for Those Who Died.”In 1997, Pat Montuore, now Chief of Florham Park (NJ) Police Department, arrived in Washington, DC, on May 12 during National Police Week, accompanied by 17 other riders, with a donation of $18,000.

In 2013, more than 1,700 Police Unity Tour members—bike riders, motor patrols, and support personnel—completed their journey, raised awareness, and donated a record-breaking gift of $1.9 million to the Memorial Fund, bringing their total donations to nearly $14 million!

The Police Unity Tour currently sponsors the Memorial Fund’s Officer of the Month Award program and Recently Fallen Alerts, and will sponsor the National Law Enforcement Museum’s Hall of Remembrance.

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) share an innovative partnership designed to promote law enforcement officer safety on the roadways. The Memorial Fund’s work with NHTSA includes the creation and distribution of research bulletins, safety presentations, and promotion of our Drive Safely program, which provides important traffic safety information geared toward the law enforcement community and the general public via the Memorial Fund’s website, enewsletter, social media, and mail outreach channels.

The Memorial Fund also partners with the Department of Justice on the VALOR program, which was created in response to the startling increase in felonious assaults of law enforcement officers. VALOR is a comprehensive effort that includes classroom and web-based training, and research and resources for sworn federal, state, and local law enforcement officers. The Memorial Fund promotes the VALOR program on its website, in its enewsletter, social media, and mail outreach channels, as well as by creating and sharing research bulletins, presentations, graphics, and more materials related to VALOR and officer safety.

Officer of the Month Program

Devotion to Duty. Exemplary Service. American Heroes.To recognize the heroes who distinguish themselves each and every day through exemplary service, heroic actions, and devotion to duty, the Memorial Fund created the Officer of the Month Award program in September 1996. Who is eligible?Any law enforcement officer in the United States is eligible to be nominated for the Memorial Fund’s Officer of the Month Award. For this program, “law enforcement officer” means a living individual involved in crime control or reduction, who is directly employed on a full-time basis by a local, county, state, or federal law enforcement agency, with or without compensation, and who is duly sworn and has full arrest powers.

Nominees may include individual officers, or two or more officers, provided that the officers being nominated worked in partnership or as a professional team.

Although a single heroic incident may be worthy, special consideration is also given to those nominees who have distinguished themselves and their profession throughout their careers.

NOTE: Some military police officers, correctional employees, and less than full-time law enforcement officers may be eligible. Contact OTM@nleomf.org for details.How does the nomination process work? Nominations are accepted from civilians and from any law enforcement agency in the United States. All nominations must be approved by the nominated officer’s supervisor or head of department.

Officer of the Month Award nomination forms are available at LawMemorial.org/OTM.

The nomination packet must include a brief summary of the distinguished service for which the officer should be recognized.

Information on law enforcement service, community service, extreme acts of valor, commendations and other awards, notable achievements, and a high-resolution photo of the nominee must be submitted.

Nominations can also include news articles featuring the nominee or his or her work (limit to four), and letters of support from the community.

15

How are nominations reviewed & awardees selected?Nominations are reviewed by Memorial Programs staff and are approved by the Names Committee, comprised of members of the Memorial Fund’s Board of Directors. The selected recipient must provide written authorization for the award to be given and the notification process to proceed.

Once a decision is made, a letter is sent to the awardee(s), the person who submitted the nomination, and the top administrative officer of the agency with which the awardee serves. How are Officer of the Month Award recipients recognized?The Awards are presented by Memorial Fund Chairman & CEO Craig W. Floyd at a special luncheon hosted by the Memorial Fund’s Board of Directors, each May, during National Police Week.

The Memorial Fund issues a news release each month announcing the name of the Award recipient(s) and highlighting the circumstances which led to his/her selection. Each Officer of the Month is featured on the Memorial Fund’s website and in the Memorial Fund’s annual calendar, which is distributed to hundreds of thousands of supporters.

If you have any questions about the Officer of the Month Award program, contact Memorial Programs staff at OTM@nleomf.org or call 202.737.3400.

Police Unity Tour is the Official Sponsor of the Officer of the Month Award Program.

The Law Enforcement Ride & Run to Remember is a community-based event that takes place at sites in the metro Washington, DC area each October.

Designed to celebrate the role of law enforcement in our communities, the Ride & Run to Remember builds awareness and raises funds for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Anchored on an October weekend, the events give on-site participants a chance to visit the Memorial in the fall and enjoy a celebratory vibe that is different than many of the traditional ceremonies and events held at the Memorial.

Building on three years of success, the Ride & Run to Remember includes (30- and 55-mile) bike rides, a timed 5K run, a 3K walk, and a Road Warrior option, which includes participation in both the ride and run or walk events. For those that are not able to travel to Washington, DC, a Virtual Participant registration option comes with all the same fundraising incentives and rewards as attending in person.

Given the fundraising nature of the Ride & Run to Remember, the Memorial Fund relies heavily on the generosity of event sponsors who wish to support the Memorial Fund mission. The events could not be successful without our sponsors—thank you to every company, law enforcement association/organization, and individual who has stepped up and supported the Ride & Run through a sponsorship.

If your business, agency, or organization is interested in a sponsorship opportunity, please contact us at 202.737.7134 or info@RideandRuntoRemember.org.Law enforcement officers support us every day, and every 57 hours an officer makes the ultimate sacrifice. This event is your chance to say thank you and support them in return.

THE MUSEUM

The most comprehensive collection of law enforcement artifacts in the United States

In 2000, Congress and President Bill Clinton authorized the establishment of a National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, DC, paving the way for the nation’s largest and most comprehensive Museum about U.S. law enforcement.

Building and exhibit design documents for the forthcoming Museum were finalized in 2012. Thousands of precious artifacts that reflect the work of law enforcement, past and present, are part of the Museum’s collection. These diverse artifacts—along with the interactive and engaging exhibits slated for the Museum—will help tell the rich story of American law enforcement.

A Natural Extension of the MemorialThe Museum will be a place where visitors can honor, remember, and learn about the hardworking heroes who keep us safe and provide the backbone of our democratic society.

A Matter of HonorTo make this dream a reality, the Museum needs assistance from people like you. As you learn more about this world-class Museum, you will come to better appreciate the sacrifice and commitment of America’s law enforcement officers and understand why it is important that the National Law Enforcement Museum be built.

Discover how you can support this endeavor at LawEnforcementMuseum.org.

Did you know that our nation’s law enforcement family comprises more than 16 million people?

There are approximately 18,000 agencies that represent over 900,000 active officers patrolling our streets and keeping us safe. To put that in perspective, when you look at the current U.S. population of 319 million people, there is only one law enforcement officer for every 350 civilians!Fortunately, there are roughly 1.6 million civilians whose efforts are vital to assisting officers. These include dispatchers, equipment managers, information technology

specialists, and many more. In addition to our active officers, there are over three million retired officers in the U.S.

If you factor in the families of our current and retired law enforcement officers, as well as the families of the civilians who provide officer support, that number reaches more than 16 million people.

We hope that each and every member of the law enforcement family will have the opportunity to visit the National Law Enforcement Museum when it opens.

Our Law Enforcement Family

The Museum will tell the story of the courageous work of the men and women who have spent their lives protecting us. It is a story of valor and hope, heroism and appreciation.

Through interactive exhibitions and compelling first-person narratives, visitors will step into the lives of American law enforcement officers throughout history.

What more fitting place for the National Law Enforcement Museum than our nation’s capital? For the first time ever in our country’s history, there will be a national museum where our system of law and its dedicated officers will have their stories told with candor and respect.

The National Law Enforcement Museum has acquired a wide-ranging collection of over 17,000 artifacts. Together these objects cover the history, geography, and diversity of American law enforcement. Early American Law EnforcementTwo of the collection’s oldest artifacts: a 1703 Writ from Bristol County, Massachusetts, authorizing Sheriff Samuel Gallup to arrest Jeremiah Fairbanks and put him in jail until his debts were paid; and an arrest warrant for Jacob Buffree issued to the Sheriff of New York City in the nineteenth year of our Independence (1794).Eliot Ness and the Untouchables

The Museum has a very rich collection of objects related to the Prohibition era. The collection includes the Treasury Department credentials that belonged to Eliot Ness of Untouchables fame; Al Capone’s bulletproof vest and pearl-handled revolver; and the revolver owned by Michael Malone, one of the IRS special agents who went undercover in Capone’s headquarters.

J. Edgar HooverIn 2010, the J. Edgar Hoover Foundation donated thousands of items from the former FBI director’s estate to the Museum. One highlight of this personal collection is the desk that Director Hoover used during his 48 years of service with the Justice Department. Beltway Snipers Task ForceIn 2011, the Museum acquired the entire collection of evidence from the October 2002 DC Sniper investigation and trial, on long-term loan from the Prince William County (VA) Police Department. The collection includes witness statements, detective notes, crime scene photographs, and thousands of pieces of physical evidence, including the Chevrolet Caprice used in the shootings, and a tarot card found at a crime scene.

Collection

Education and public programs are essential to the National Law Enforcement Museum’s mission. Public programs, school and group visits, electronic “field trips,” and partnerships and collaborations with other museums, are all planned.Not only will the Museum have core exhibitions that provide a dynamic learning experience, it will also offer a range of educational programs for school-age

children, adults, and law enforcement professionals.

J. Edgar Hoover Research CenterThe Museum’s Research Center will serve students and others pursuing the study of law enforcement in America. A public forum for discussions, lectures, and conferences, the J. Edgar Hoover Research Center will be a priceless educational resource.
