Preserving the Legacy of Our Fallen Officers
About the Memorial
Founded in 1960, the American Police Hall of Fame Memorial is a lasting tribute to officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The Memorial honors the lives of those who served from 1960 onward, with over 11,500 names etched into its walls. Each name tells a story of courage, dedication, and selflessness, ensuring that these heroes are never forgotten.
We are also proud to announce an exciting digital project that will honor all American officers killed in the line of duty, including those who served before 1960. This groundbreaking initiative will preserve their legacies for future generations. Sign up below to learn more about this project and help us continue to remember our nation’s fallen heroes.
