National Police Week 2013
On May 13, the nation paused to formally dedicate the names of 321 fallen law enforcement heroes, added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in 2013. Of the 321 names, 120 were officers killed in the line of duty during 2012 and 201 were names of officers previously undiscovered.
Vol. 3, No. 4 – August 2013
The Rose & Shield is published by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
Craig W. Floyd, Chairman & CEO
(202) 737-3400 • [email protected]
The national monument in Judiciary Square now contains the names of 19,981 fallen law enforcement officers—from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, federal law enforcement, corrections, railroad and military police agencies—who have died in the performance of duty throughout U.S. history, dating back to the first known officer death in 1791.
Dedicated in 1991, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial commemorates the service and sacrifice of America’s law enforcement officers. Each May 13, as part of National Police Week, the newly engraved names of officers killed in the line of duty are read aloud and formally dedicated on the National Memorial during the Candlelight Vigil. An estimated 20,000 people attend the ceremony in person, and more than 18,000 people watch the ceremony via a live webcast each year, including surviving family members, friends, law enforcement colleagues and others.

Drive Safely is a campaign started by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund with one purpose in mind: to decrease the number of law enforcement officers who are killed on America’s roadways.
The key to saving hundreds of lives could be as simple as a little more focus and caution on the road. Learn more—and sign the Drive Safely pledge—by visiting www.LawMemorial.org/DriveSafely.
Drive Safely: The Campaign to Decrease Officer Fatalities on the Road
This information is part of an innovative partnership with NHTSA to promote law enforcement officer safety.
Move over. When see you a police or other emergency vehicle stopped on the side of the roadway, slow down and, if possible, safely move one additional lane away from the stop.
