12014 Annual Report

3

I’m pleased to report that 2014 was a very successful year for the National Law Enforcement Offi cers Memorial Fund. As the Memorial Fund has grown over the years, 2014 provided an opportunity to assess the structure of the organization, identify our strategic priorities, and align staff resources to successfully perform the tasks necessary to meet priorities.

The Memorial Fund set three strategic priorities for the organization:

• Maximize the National Law Enforcement Offi cers Memorial

• Create the National Law Enforcement Museum

• Promote Offi cer Safety and Wellness

The National Law Enforcement Offi cers Memorial serves as a reminder of the service and sacrifi ce law enforcement offi cers, and their families, make for the safety and protection of our country’s citizens. It will forever remain a focal point for law enforcement. The Memorial Fund is committed to operating the nation’s monument to our offi cers and raise the profi le of the Memorial amongst the law enforcement profession, with survivors of the fallen, as well as the hundreds of thousands who visit each year.

We are also working hard to build the National Law Enforcement Museum which will allow us to tell the stories behind the names engraved on the Memorial. More so, the Museum will allow us to teach visitors about law enforcement, show them what it is like to spend a day in their shoes, and foster a greater connection between law enforcement and the citizens they serve. This latter point is more meaningful today than ever.

As law enforcement fatalities rose in 2010 and 2011, the Memorial Fund found more citizens were interested in accessing our fatality data to help identify trends and key indicators that could positively impact offi cer safety. Plain and simple, we had a responsibility to use the information we collect in processing fatalities to help offi cers perform their duties more safely and effi ciently.

Through our partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance VALOR program, we have worked to reduce offi cer fatalities related to felonious assaults and gunfi re. We have continued to raise awareness about offi cer safety on our roadways, through our Drive Safely program with the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration. Though one offi cer death is one too many, we are encouraged that we had fewer offi cer fatalities in 2013 and 2014 than in any year since 1959.

None of these milestones could have happened without our loyal supporters. For more than 30 years, I have had the unique opportunity to meet and work with so many wonderful folks who give countless hours and generous contributions to ensure that our important mission is accomplished. I look forward to sharing many exciting developments with you in the future!

EVERY 60 HOURS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

THAT’S AN AVERAGE OF 147 OFFICERS KILLED EACH YEAR.

HONORING FALLEN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERSThroughout the year, and especially during National Police Week each May, the Memorial Fund coordinates events that honor fallen offi cers and their surviving families. New names are engraved on the Memorial each April and formally dedicated on May 13 during the annual Candlelight Vigil. In addition, many other events are held at the Memorial during National Police Week and throughout the year, including wreathlaying ceremonies, group tours, and other events that honor and remember the offi cers whose names are engraved on the monument.

PROMOTING OFFICER SAFETYThe Memorial Fund serves as a national clearinghouse for information and statistics on law enforcement line-of-duty deaths, maintaining a comprehensive database detailing the circumstances of these fatalities and publishing Fatality Reports examining trends and factors related to offi cer fatalities. Memorial Fund staff make safety presentations at law enforcement conferences and expos, design and disseminate collateral to convey current safety tactics and practices, and works with our partners to generate and share information to improve safety and save lives.

INCREASING PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONThe signifi cant sacrifi ces and contributions our law enforcement offi cers make to American society will be saluted by a grateful nation, once again, when the National Law Enforcement Museum opens directly across the street from the Memorial. The Museum will be a world-class institution that will tell the story of law enforcement in America through exhibits, collections, research, education, and online content.

Until then, the Memorial Fund conducts programs that honor offi cers who valiantly serve their communities including the Offi cer of the Month Award, Witness to History panel discussions, and the Offi cer Roll Call program. These programs are designed to highlight and share the work law enforcement offi cers perform each day and to help citizens understand the intricacies of the invaluable role the “Thin Blue Line” plays in our nation.

OUR WORK

OUR MISSION AND VISION

Our Mission:To tell the story of American law enforcement and make it safer for those who serve.

Our Vision:To inspire all citizens to value Law Enforcement.Founded in 1984, the Memorial Fund maintains the National Law Enforcement Offi cers Memorial in Washington, DC, which is inscribed with the names of law enforcement offi cers who have died in the line of duty throughout U.S. history. The Memorial Fund is working to create the National Law Enforcement Museum, which will tell the story of American law enforcement through interactive exhibitions, historical artifacts, and extensive educational programming. The Memorial Fund is also working hard to reduce the number of line-of-duty fatalities by conducting offi cer safety and wellness programs designed to raise awareness within the law enforcement community as well as to the general public. Both audiences play an important role in the effi cacy of law enforcement safety.

NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

National Police Week, which occurs each year during the week in which May 15 (National Peace Offi cers Memorial Day) falls, recognizes the service and sacrifi ce of local, state, tribal, territorial, and federal law enforcement offi cers. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week gives special honor to law enforcement offi cers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others, as well as recognizes and thanks offi cers currently serving communities across America.

National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community. The Memorial Fund is a principal organizer of National Police Week and hosts a Candlelight Vigil at the Memorial each May 13 to honor America’s law enforcement offi cers, especially our fallen heroes.

Newly-engraved names of fallen offi cers are formally dedicated at our annual Candlelight Vigil

During the ceremony, each fallen offi cer’s name is read aloud. Speakers, dignitaries, and musicians honor the service and sacrifi ces made by law enforcement offi cers, as well as their friends and families.

An estimated 20,000 people attend the Candlelight Vigil each year, and thousands more participate via a live webcast of the ceremony provided by the Memorial Fund through a partnership with Offi cer.com.

In 2014, U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. led the lighting of candles and reading of fallen offi cers’ names during the 26th annual Candlelight Vigil. National President of Concerns of Police Survivors Madeline Neumann, also shared remarks at this annual tribute to offi cers who have died in the line of duty—a special part of the National Police Week observance in the nation’s capital.

I believe that grief is comprised of two components: First is obviously the loss. The second is the rebuilding of a shattered life. Musician Patti Smith said, ‘Grief starts to become indulgent, and it doesn’t serve anyone, and it’s painful. But if you transform it into remembrance, then you’re magnifying the person you lost and also giving something of that person to other people, so they can experience something of that person.’

This memorial, the National Law Enforcement Offi cers Memorial, does just that; transforms our grief into remembrance.

“

“—Madeline Neumann, National President, Concerns of Police Survivors

POLICE UNITY TOUR

The journey is long and challenging. But for Police Unity Tour participants, it is something they strive for throughout the entire year. Through fundraising and physical training, their efforts remind us of the sacrifi ces made by so many law enforcement offi cers.

In 1997, Patrick Montuore—who later became Chief of the Florham Park (NJ) Police Department—arrived in Washington, DC, on May 12 during National Police Week, accompanied by 17 other riders, with a donation of $18,000.

Seventeen years later, 1,800 Police Unity Tour participants—cyclists, motor patrols, and support personnel—completed their journey, raised awareness, and donated a record-breaking gift of $1.91 million to the Memorial Fund!

It’s a tradition for Police Unity Tour riders to wear bracelets engraved with the name of the offi cer to whom they dedicate their ride. After their arrival at the Memorial, many riders present these remembrance bracelets, worn through the whole journey, to the families of these fallen offi cers.

As the wife of a fallen Offi cer, it is diffi cult to describe the feeling of seeing my husband’s name on the Memorial in Washington, DC. The Memorial is so important to the families, friends and co-workers of these heroic men and women. Every year a Police Unity Tour participant has honored Larry by riding for him and it is always so emotional seeing the riders come in. I plan to participate for my fourth year to honor Larry, as well as making my son proud.

PROMOTING OFFICER SAFETY

Law enforcement fatalities dip to lowest level in six decades

As the Memorial Fund increased its efforts to reduce the number of line-of-duty deaths among law enforcement offi cers, it became clear that more staff resources were needed to mine the offi cer fatality data that has been collected during the organization’s history. In 2014, the organization received more than 300 information requests from the media, and hundreds more from law enforcement departments and organizations interested in understanding the data in order to improve offi cer safety.

The Memorial Fund brought aboard two new staff members to form our Offi cer Safety & Wellness department. Their primary charge is to manage and expand the Memorial Fund’s grant partnerships.

According to data compiled by the National Law Enforcement Offi cers Memorial Fund, 117 law enforcement offi cers were killed in the line of duty in 2014, a nine percent increase from 2013, when 107 offi cers lost their lives.

Forty-eight offi cers were killed in traffi c-related incidents in 2014. The same number, 48 offi cers, were also killed in fi rearms-related incidents in 2014. Firearms-related fatalities increased 45 percent from 2013 when 33 offi cers were killed.

Job-related illnesses, such as heart attacks, increased in 2014 with 18 offi cer deaths compared to 16 in 2013.

In 2014, 60 offi cers were feloniously killed compared to 45 the prior year resulting in a 33 percent increase. Fifty-seven offi cers were killed in non-feloniuos incidents in 2014, compared to 63 the prior year.

Reporting recent law enforcement fatalities

In 2014, the Memorial Fund continued its work to raise awareness of law enforcement fatalities by distributing Recently Fallen alerts. Any time there is a reported law enforcement fatality, the Memorial Fund disseminates information about the offi cer(s) via email alerts, social media, and website updates.

The Memorial Fund worked with the Department of Justice’s Offi ce of Community Oriented Policing Services to expand and enhance our Recently Fallen program. Efforts included enhancing the content provided in the alerts, changing the layout and information included for each Recently Fallen alert and acquiring new subscribers to the free alerts program.

OFFICER SAFETY PARTNERSHIPS

The Memorial Fund continued its partnerships with the Department of Justice (DOJ) on programs designed to improve offi cer safety. Working with the DOJ’s Bureau of Justice Assistance offi ce, the Memorial Fund promoted the VALOR program. This program is a comprehensive effort that includes classroom and web-based training, research and resources for sworn local, state, tribal, territorial and federal law enforcement offi cers. The Memorial Fund promotes the VALOR program on its website and social media, as well as creating and sharing research bulletins, presentations, graphics and collateral related to VALOR and offi cer safety.

The National Law Enforcement Offi cers Memorial Fund and the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration (NHTSA) partnered to promote law enforcement offi cer safety on the roadways. The Memorial Fund’s work with NHTSA includes the creation and distribution of research bulletins, safety presentations and promotion of our Drive Safely program, which provides important traffi c safety information geared toward the law enforcement community and the general public via the Memorial Fund’s website, e-newsletters, social media, and mail outreach channels.

Devotion to Duty. Exemplary Service. American Heroes.To recognize the heroes who distinguish themselves each and every day through exemplary service, heroic actions, and devotion to duty, the Memorial Fund created the Offi cer of the Month Award program in September 1996. Each month, a deserving offi cer (or set of offi cers) who have gone above and beyond the call of duty are selected as recipients of this award.

In addition to recognition in their own communities, Offi cer of the Month Award winners are honored at a special luncheon each May in Washington, DC, during National Police Week. They are also featured on the Memorial Fund’s website, social media, and in the annual calendar.

Police Unity Tour is the Offi cial Sponsor of the Offi cer of the Month Award Program.

LAW ENFORCEMENT APPRECIATION EVENTS

The Memorial Fund partnered with professional sports organizations throughout the country and extended its mission beyond the marble walls of the Memorial by reaching out to law enforcement supporters in their communities. These events provided a special partnership that recognized local law enforcement and educated the general public about our mission.

Many events included local law enforcement offi cers who participated in pre-game ceremonies, such as Honor Guard presentation of colors, or performing the National Anthem. Throughout the event, public service announcements and videos were featured on the scoreboard and other displays in and around each facility. Law Enforcement Appreciation Events could not be successful without the support of local law enforcement organizations and our many volunteer Ambassadors and Guardians.

LAW ENFORCEMENT RIDE & RUN TO REMEMBER

On the weekend of October 11 and 12, 2014, the Memorial Fund held the fourth annual Law Enforcement Ride & Run to Remember—a fun, community-oriented, athletic fundraising event designed to remember the sacrifi ce and celebrate the service of law enforcement offi cers and raise awareness and support for the Memorial Fund.

The event included:

• A 55- or 30-mile bicycle ride starting and ending at National Harbor, MD• A 5K run/walk starting and ending at the National Law Enforcement Offi cers

Memorial

Bike riders made their way through Maryland, passing military forts and winding through beautiful park lands—including the Henson Creek Trail—before returning to National Harbor to complete the ride.

Runners passed by the U.S. Capitol and other iconic DC landmarks before making their way back to the Memorial to complete the race.

What a beautiful day to take a bike ride on the Maryland countryside. And certainly made better by all the support workers out there making it safe.

KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE

Over the summer of 2014, the Memorial Fund tested audience reactions to the key concepts of the National Law Enforcement Museum and began to hone in on ideas that would differentiate the Museum from other attractions in Washington, DC.

The research was both quantitative and qualitative, using in-depth interviews, focus groups, and online surveys to discover what people thought about and expected from the National Law Enforcement Museum. The research looked for ideas big enough to provoke conversation and carve out a place in culture. The research gauges whether the Museum experience is compelling to the uninitiated and will become the basis for the Museum marketing campaign’s creative and strategic direction and, ultimately, drive ticket sales.

MARKET RESEARCH IN A NUTSHELL

Researchers discovered a keen interest in an experience that struck a balance between education and entertainment.

That desired balance was also clear when testing some sample statements (called positioning statements) that provide us with an understanding of what ideas are most appealing to our audience. Of the eight statements tested with visitors, the top three were Educational, Behind the Badge, and Fun.

EDUCATIONAL“The National Law Enforcement Museum brings the history of law enforcement to life through dynamic, interactive exhibits that give visitors a comprehensive view of the profession and its role in America’s history – past and present.”

BEHIND THE BADGE“The National Law Enforcement Museum conveys what it’s really like to be a law enforcement offi cer, by providing interactive experiences that give visitors a fi rst-hand look into the profession, past and present.”

FUN“The National Law Enforcement Museum takes you on an exciting journey through the history of American law enforcement by offering immersive and interactive exhibits that give you a glimpse into this dynamic and fascinating world.”

We also learned that the surveyed audience is aware of current events, which can adversely affect their views on law enforcement and, potentially, their desire to visit the Museum.

The data showed, people want to go to the National Law Enforcement Museum.

More than 54 percent of the general public was interested in going to the Museum and a whopping 88 percent of education decision makers (educators, school administrators, and others who make decisions about school group fi eld trips). So is that good? Yes, here is how we ranked alongside two other well-known DC attractions.

The National Law Enforcement Museum‘s Oral History Collection is home to more than 200 oral history interviews. These fascinating fi rst person accounts reveal a wide variety of law enforcement experiences and uncover personal and professional reflections from a host of individuals, bringing to life our nation’s history from a uniquely law enforcement perspective. Transcripts of these oral histories are available on the Museum’s website.

Here are a few:

Jana Monroe always wanted a career in law enforcement. She said, “I couldn’t stand it when people would take advantage of other people, so it seemed like a natural [fi t] that I would go into law enforcement.” She joined the FBI after serving several years in the Chino (CA) Police Department. Monroe was a trailblazer throughout her career including serving as the fi rst female special agent in the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit.

Donald M. Noel made a career of capturing some of America’s most renowned criminals from the Weather Underground to the UNABOMBER. After serving in the FBI’s San Francisco fi eld offi ce, Noel remembered, “I went back to Oakland to rest on my laurels and to retire,” but the Chief Inspector had other plans. Noel became an important player in identifying, capturing, and convicting Ted Kaczynski.

Michael Smith was only 22 years old when he was taken hostage at New York’s Attica Prison in an inmate riot that made national news. He remembered, “It was a spontaneous reaction to a perfect point in time for something to explode.” Smith survived the riot but suffered tremendous injuries that ended his law enforcement career. Smith says of the experience now, “I look at it [as] more of a blessing, because it really opened my eyes.”

ORAL HISTORY – WILLIAM J. “BILL” BRATTON

As a child, New York City Police Commissioner William J. “Bill” Bratton would eagerly walk to the joint library and police district house in his Dorcester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, to explore his two great passions—reading and law enforcement. During an interview with the National Law Enforcement Museum, Commissioner Bratton spoke of that formative time. He said, “I still remember going down to the library when I was seven, eight, nine, ten years old, and timing it so I could watch the police marching out of the police stationhouse after roll call.” One of his favorite books to check out was called, The Commissioner. He remembered, “[It was] one of those motivational books that motivated me toward the NYPD.” When asked in 1994 to serve as the Police Commissioner of the New York City Police Department, it was the fulfi llment of his childhood dream. Today, he is once again New York City’s top cop. Commissioner Bratton has been a true advocate for law enforcement and a valued supporter of the National Law Enforcement Museum.
