Police Week | Washington DC

Ceremonies come to a close at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington DC, as the pipe and drum corps parade arrives to pay their respect to fallen officers. The Memorial is open to the public year-round, 24 hours a day in honor of those brave men and women who sacrificed their lives protecting us throughout history.

In 2000 President Clinton, and the congress authorized the establishment of the first-ever National Law Enforcement Museum to open in 2013 adjacent to the Memorial.

Visitors will be treated to a high-tech, interactive glimpse behind the badge, plus a fascinating lesson in the history of this noble profession. Memorial Fund Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Craig Floyd says “The experience will help citizens better understand and appreciate the vital role of those who bravely enforce the law and keep America safe from crime and terror.”
