“Despite improved equipment and better training, law enforcement remains the 
deadliest profession in America.”
                                              -- NLEOMF Chairman, Craig W. Floyd

                                   HISTORY:
In 1792 the first law enforcement officer was killed.  Since then more than 
15,000 officers have lost their lives in the line of duty.  In 2000 alone, more 
than 150 police officers were killed in the line of duty.  On average one police
officer is killed somewhere in our country every 57 hours.  There are also 
63,000 assaults committed against our officers every year, resulting in more 
than 21,000 injuries.   

In 1984 the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund was established.  
This non-profit organization was established to honor the service and sacrifice 
of America’s law enforcement officers.  In 1991 the National Law Enforcement 
Officers Memorial was built and dedicated to those officers who have lost their 
lives serving and protecting throughout the United States.  

                                     FACTS:
· Over the past 10 years, New York City has lost more officers in the line of 
  duty than any other department with 541 deaths.  

· Since 1991, California has lost 1,265 officers, more than any other state.

· In 2000, more than 150 officers were killed in the line of duty across the 
  country

Craig Floyd will be able to discuss:
·  The 10th Anniversary of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial
·  The dedication of the officers who have given their lives across the   
   country during the past year in the line of duty
·  The publication of “To Serve and Protect: A Tribute to America Law
