National Police Week 2018
The engravers have finished adding all 360 names to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, bringing the total to 21,541 law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. The names will be dedicated at the 30th Annual Candlelight Vigil on May 13 in Washington, DC. We hope you'll join us for National Police Week.
