National Police Week Virtual Candle, the idea of American Charities and its member to honor the Law Enforcement. The fallen will not be forgotten
National Police Week Virtual Candle, the idea of Charities and its members to honor the brave men and women of Law Enforcement. On average, one law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty somewhere in the United States every 54 hours. Since the first known line-of-duty death in 1786, more than 22,000 U.S. law enforcement officers have made the ultimate sacrifice. This year is different than the others due to the ongoing health emergency, America’s Charities and its member, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, recognize that officers on the front lines are increasingly vulnerable to the coronavirus.
National Police Week Virtual Candle
This year the annual tribute to law enforcement service has been online. The idea was of The Memorial Fund, the principal organizer of National Police Week. Nothing stopped The Memorial Fund from making sure that fallen officers will not be forgotten. As the future becomes more certain and the end of this crisis is near, the Memorial Fund will begin to make plans for a live reading of names to honor the 307 officers whose names were newly engraved on the memorial this year. The Memorial Fund is committed: the fallen will not be forgotten.
