2010 Annual Report
The mission of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is to generate increased public support for the
law enforcement profession by permanently recording and appropriately commemorating the service and sacrifice of law
enforcement officers and to provide information that will help promote law enforcement safety.
A Message From Craig W. Floyd, Chairman & CEO
Nineteen years ago, I stood beside law enforcement leaders, elected
officials, survivors and civilian supporters to formally dedicate the
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC.
When the beautiful marble walls were dedicated in 1991, they contained
slightly more than 12,500 names.
Tragically, each year we continue to add names of heroes who have
fallen in the line of duty. In 2010, the names of 324 law enforcement
officers — 116 from 2009 and 208 historical line of duty deaths — were
carefully engraved on the national monument to America’s fallen law
enforcement officers.
I am also proud to announce our acquisition
of the J. Edgar Hoover Collection, donated by
the J. Edgar Hoover Foundation. In addition to
acquiring the collection of Mr. Hoover’s personal
effects such as speeches, photographs and his
desk, the Foundation made a $100,000 donation
to fund the Museum’s Research Center, which will
allow students, scholars and historians — as well
as the general public — to access and learn more
about this iconic figure and the law enforcement
profession.
After reaching the lowest number of officer fatalities since 1959 in
2009, law enforcement officer fatalities increased 30 percent, from 116
fatalities in 2009, to 152 officers killed in the line of duty during 2010.
For the thirteenth year in a row, traffic-related fatalities were the leading
cause of officer fatalities, with 70 officers killed.
With all the progress made on the Museum and other activities
supporting the Memorial Fund’s mission, the organization has grown.
Last year, the Memorial Fund’s administrative offices moved into a larger
space to accommodate the additional staff members required to run the
organization.
In 2010, we took on a very important Memorial Restoration project
— to re-engrave every name and clean the marble walls to ensure each
and every name on the Memorial looks the same, if not better, as when
they were dedicated in 1991.
Amidst all of our accomplishments, we are reminded of the sacrifice
made by America’s law enforcement families. They are too often the
unsung heroes who sacrifice so much.
The Memorial Fund has ramped up efforts to shine a spotlight on
officer fatalities by raising public awareness and promoting officer safety
in the hopes of reducing the number of annual fatalities. In 2010, we
partnered with other leading law enforcement safety organizations such
as the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the National Sheriffs’
Association, the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Highway
Transportation Safety Administration
We also took a momentous step forward in our campaign to build
the National Law Enforcement Museum. On October 14, 2010, we
formally broke ground on the National Law Enforcement Museum in
Washington, DC. Ten years in the making, the shovels hit the ground
and construction commenced in January of 2011.
And we are truly grateful for the families, friends and citizens
throughout the country who honor law enforcement by supporting
our work. Your donations, volunteerism and your voice help enable
our success in honoring the service and sacrifice of our nation’s law
enforcement officers — especially our fallen heroes.
Sincerely,
Craig W. Floyd
Chairman & CEO

Honoring Fallen Law
Enforcement Heroes
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is dedicated to honoring the
service and sacrifice of America’s law enforcement officers. Throughout the year, and
especially during National Police Week each May, we coordinate events that honor
fallen officers, support survivors and help raise funds to maintain the Memorial.
In 2010, the names of 324 law enforcement heroes were added to the marble walls of
the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. One hundred and sixteen names
of officers killed in the line of duty during 2009, and 208 additional names of officers
who had died previously but were not recorded, were engraved.
One hundred and fifty-two officers were killed during 2010. Their names were added
to the Memorial in spring of 2011 and formally dedicated on May 13th during the
annual Candlelight Vigil held each year during National Police Week.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund oversees the engraving of
every name on the Memorial and, in partnership with the United States National Park
Service, maintains the three-acre parkland in downtown Washington, DC on which
the Memorial rests.

Annual
Candlelight
Vigil
Each May 13th, as part of National Police Week, over 20,000 people
assemble at the Memorial for our annual Candlelight Vigil, to formally
dedicate the names of the fallen law enforcement heroes added to the
Memorial each spring.
During the ceremony, each fallen officers’ name is read aloud, and
speakers, dignitaries and musicians honor the commitment of law
enforcement officers and the sacrifices made by their friends and families.
“...This is the time and this is the place to honor their memories,
not so much how their service ended, but how they served, how they
lived. Bend a knee and bow a head and remember them and those left
behind. Always remember...”
- Dave Eyman, Virtual Candle Tribute
2010 Police Week Media Coverage:
• Hundreds of television media hits nationwide, reaching millions of viewers
• 21 radio interviews reaching a potential audience of more than 11 million listeners nationwide
• 210 print news stories and hundreds more online stories

Profile: JoAnn Lasater, Survivor
Officer Larry Lasater, Pittsburg (CA) Police Department, was
pursuing two robbery suspects when he was fatally shot and killed
on April 24, 2005. He was 35 years old at the time of his murder
and left behind a wife, JoAnn, who was pregnant at the time with
their son, Cody.
Larry had made it clear that if anything ever happened to him, he
wanted to donate his organs to others. A northern California man,
who was near death, now lives a normal life thanks to the heart of
Larry Lasater that pumps inside him.
“My husband, Larry Lasater, was a great guy, full of life and looking
forward to becoming a father. He had been working at setting up
Cody’s room before his death.
I came to National Police Week in the spring of 2006 to see his
name on the Memorial. I was in a fog, but it was also the first
time I realized that I am not alone. I met so many families and
felt so much support. After three years, I decided to come back
to Washington for Police Week, and it was a completely different
experience. Still emotional, but uplifting. I plan to come back each
year, if possible.
Larry’s sacrifice deserves to be remembered. I’m proud to have a
place my son can go where his father will always be honored.”

Profile: Robert McGrory
Law Enforcement Officer & Survivor
“I rode for my son,
Justin McGrory. He
was a California
Highway Patrol
(CHP) Officer killed
on June 27, 2010.
He followed in my
footsteps; I retired
from the CHP in
2007. I was very, very
proud to have my son
follow me into law
enforcement. I was
also in the Marine
Corps, and he joined
the military and served a tour of duty in Afghanistan. A
father couldn’t have been more proud of his son and all
the things he had done.
A friend came to me after my son was killed and told
me we had to do the Police Unity Tour. To ride into
this Memorial, I never had a feeling like that before.
The emotions you experience are overwhelming; not
just here, but on the entire route — New York and New
Jersey — people standing on the road, clapping for us.
I’m just so proud of my son, but the family is not the
only victim. It goes beyond the wives, mothers, fathers
— an officer’s death affects their co-workers, people
they went to school with — it reaches hundreds and
hundreds of people.
The Unity Tour and the Memorial bring everyone
together. This is what really helps the healing, and I
could not be any more proud of the Memorial and my
friends and family that supported me.”

Police Unity Tour
In 1997, Florham Park (NJ) Police Officer, and now Chief, Pat Montuore had an
idea: Organize a four-day ride from New Jersey to the National Law Enforcement
Officers Memorial in DC to raise public awareness about law enforcement officers
killed in the line of duty.
It began with just 18 riders, donating $18,000 that first year, but now has grown
to over 1,200 riders and support personnel. In 2010, the Police Unity Tour raised
a record high $1,326,338 million, which generously and completely funded the
names re-engraving portion of the Memorial Restoration project.
Their motto is simple, “We Ride for Those Who Died,”
but their work is monumental. Since their formation, the
Police Unity Tour has raised nearly $10 million dollars
for the Memorial, including sponsoring the National Law
Enforcement Museum’s Hall of Remembrance.
“We Ride for
Those who Died”
Promoting
Officer
Safety
On average, one law enforcement officer is killed in the line of
duty somewhere in the United States every 53 hours. Since the
first known line of duty death in 1791, more than 19,000 U.S.
law enforcement officers have made the ultimate sacrifice.
The Memorial Fund collects, maintains and analyzes data on law
enforcement fatalities. Twice each year, in July and December,
the Memorial Fund releases a Research Bulletin containing
preliminary numbers representing the latest trends in law
enforcement fatalities.

Law Enforcement
Fatalities Rise in 2010
Total Fatalities: 1959-2010
Profile: Chief RObert Paudert
Law Enforcement Officer
& Survivor
Tragically, in 2010, law enforcement fatalities rose 30
percent, from 116 fatalities in 2009 to 152 fatalities
in 2010. Of the 152 officers killed in the line of duty,
70 were killed in traffic-related incidents and 59 were
firearms-related fatalities.
After a 28 percent decrease in 2009, traffic-related
fatalities soared to 70 in 2010 — a 35 percent increase
from 2009.
“My son,
Sergeant Brandon
Paudert, and his
partner, Officer
Bill Evans, gave
their lives on May
20, 2010. This
[the Memorial] is
the best tribute
that could be
made to them.
Cause of Fatalities: 2010
Even more troubling, 2010 saw a rise in fatalities
resulting from officers being struck while outside their
vehicles. Fourteen officers were struck and killed in 2010,
compared to 11 in 2009. Three of the officers were from
the California Highway Patrol, which lost a total of five
officers in 2010.
Overall, officer fatalities have steadily declined over the
last three decades. But since the 1960s, traffic fatalities
have steadily increased. The 1960s averaged 59 trafficrelated officer deaths, but fatalities have increased 22
percent, averaging 72 during the 2000-2009 decade.
After my first Police Week, I truly saw the
importance of it, and I’ll try to make it
back every year. It is such a benefit to the
families — to talk to others in the same
place of life. During Police Week, we
meet others that have gone through the
same thing and realize we are not alone.
Traffic-Related Fatalities: Two Year &
Decade Comparison

Average 2000-2009
There is a bond among law enforcement
officers that is not surpassed anywhere.
It is a very tight-knit group. Police Week
demonstrates how close we are. If you
are law enforcement, we are here for
you. This is a living Memorial — these
walls that we can come to anytime in our
nation’s capital — there is no other tribute
better than this.”

DRIVE SAFELY:
The Campaign to Decrease Officer Fatalities on the Road
Law enforcement officers spend much of their time working to make sure the rest of us can travel safely on our nation’s roads and
highways. For the past 13 years, traffic-related fatalities have been the leading cause of officer fatalities.
Automobile crashes, motorcycle crashes, and officers being struck by other vehicles all represent significant dangers for our peace
officers. In 2010, there were 70 law enforcement officers across the country who lost their lives in traffic-related incidents.
With your help, we can make our roadways safer for officers right now.

Officers of the Month — 2010
Throughout our nation’s history,
over 19,000 law enforcement heroes
have made the ultimate sacrifice for
the safety and protection of others,
and their memories are forever
honored on the National Law
Enforcement Officers Memorial.
But law enforcement has many
other heroes as well — officers who
distinguish themselves each and
every day through exemplary service
and devotion to duty.
To recognize these Living Legends
of the profession, the Memorial
Fund created the Officer of the
Month program in September 1996.
Each month, we honor a deserving
officer (or set of officers) at the local,
state or federal level — men and
women who have gone above and
beyond the call of duty.
In addition to recognition in their
own communities, Officers of the
Month are honored at a special
awards luncheon each May in
Washington, DC, during National
Police Week, and they are featured
in the annual Memorial Fund
calendar.

memorial
restoration
project
In 2010, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial walls and
grounds underwent a Restoration Project — including the $1.1 million reengraving of names.
As part of the restoration, the engravers, stone masons and curatorial staff of
the National Park Service sought methods that would prevent the paint used
to stain the names from fading. Each of the names was then repainted with a
new product, so that each name would appear as it originally did when it was
added to the Memorial.
Thanks to a generous donation from the Police Unity Tour, the four-month
re-engraving portion of the Restoration Project was completed in 2010. After
every letter of every name was re-engraved and repainted, the Memorial walls
underwent an intensive cleaning process.
In addition, lighting enhancements, tree-bed curbs, tree replacements and
landscaping updates were made to enhance the Memorial’s beauty.
The Memorial has now been restored to practically original condition. As
we work to honor America’s law enforcement officers — especially our fallen
heroes — it is fitting that the names of nearly 19,000 officers engraved on
the Memorial walls are maintained in best-of-class fashion.
Thanks to the Police Unity Tour for their $1.1 million
gift to re-engrave every name on the Memorial.

Distinguished Service Award
Each year, the Memorial Fund’s Strategic Planning
Committee, a body of the Board of Directors, develops and
reviews nominations for the Distinguished Service Award.
The committee forwards a recommendation to the full
Board of Directors. The Memorial Fund Board then votes
to select an award recipient.
The Distinguished Service Award is the National Law
Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund’s top award. It is
presented annually to “an individual or organization that
has made an exceptional and lasting contribution to the law
enforcement profession.”

“Target is committed to safe stores
and supporting safe communities,
and we are proud to partner with law
enforcement in these efforts. We
strongly support the men and women
in law enforcement who deserve a
tremendous debt of gratitude for
their selflessness and dedication to
public safety.
Through the Memorial Fund, we have
the opportunity to recognize the work
and sacrifice of law enforcement
across the county. Target has a deep
appreciation for those officers who
protect us every day — and those who sometimes must make the
ultimate sacrifice.
For the last 20 years, Target has partnered with law enforcement
to strengthen public safety through a program called Target &
Blue, bringing together the public and private sectors to strengthen
neighborhoods across the country.
Through the program, Target partners to share resources and expertise
with law enforcement, including providing access to Target’s video
forensic labs, which have helped law enforcement solve countless
violent crimes. In addition, Target facilitates the Law Enforcement
Business Fellowship, a training and information sharing program in
coordination with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and
operates a Public Safety Grant Program which provides resources for
law enforcement. Target partners with community organizations to
help build safe communities through support for National Night Out
and Shop with a Cop, among others.
We see the Distinguished Service Award as a challenge to do more,
to build on our deep and lasting partnerships and to make a tangible
difference in our communities. We look forward to what we can
achieve together.”

The mission of the National Law Enforcement Museum is to tell the story
of American law enforcement through exhibits, collections, research and
education. The Museum dynamically engages the broadest possible audience in
this story in an effort to build mutual respect and foster cooperation between
the public and the law enforcement profession. By doing so, the Museum
contributes to a safer society and serves to uphold the democratic ideals of the
U.S. Constitution.

of Honor
Museum Groundbreaking
October 14, 2010
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund formally broke ground
on the new National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, DC on October
14, 2010.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place at the future site of the Museum in
the 400 block of E Street, NW, across the street from the existing National Law
Enforcement Officers Memorial in historic Judiciary Square, the symbolic seat of
the nation’s criminal justice system.
The ceremony marked the official start of construction on the Museum, which
began in earnest the following January.
“Today marks a major milestone for this important institution,” said Memorial
Fund Chairman & CEO, Craig W. Floyd. “With this groundbreaking, we are
taking a historic step in realizing our mission to tell the story of American law
enforcement through exhibits, collections, research and education.”
“...law enforcement plays a critical role in keeping
communities across our nation safe. The National
Law Enforcement Museum will pay tribute to the
selfless commitment of the men and women in
uniform who serve and protect our homeland.”
— U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano

Profile: Officer Tommy Griffiths
Law Enforcement Officer & Survivor
“My brother, Boston (MA) Police Detective Sherman
Griffiths, was assigned to the city wide drug control unit
when he was shot and killed serving a no knock search
warrant in the Dorchester section of Boston on the night of
February 18, 1988. My brother, Billy, also a Boston Police
Officer, was working on the night Sherman was killed.
Sherman was 36 years old, married and the father of two
young girls, Hilary (6) and Melanie (5). He was also the
oldest of the seven boys.
Since 1989, I have watched as the Memorial has become
a reality. I was at the first Candlelight Vigil in an empty lot,
I was at the groundbreaking ceremony where President
George H.W. Bush held a shovel full of dirt, and I was at the
dedication of the completed Memorial where my children
etched their uncle’s name on pieces of tracing paper. It has
been a bittersweet journey.
Yet in some ways, the journey had only begun for me and
my brothers.
In 1993, five years after my brother, Sherman, was killed,
I — along with my brothers, Brian, Kevin and Jimmy —
joined the Boston Police Department. At the age of 36,
ironically the same age Sherman was when he was killed, I
graduated as class president of the Boston Police Academy.
We began another journey, to build a museum that will not
only honor officers killed in the line of duty but to honor all
law enforcement officers and recognize the work that we
do. This will be a piece of history that future generations will
be able to share and enjoy.”

Hoover
ofCollection
Honor
When the National Law Enforcement Museum opens, it will serve as
the repository of one of the most extensive collections of objects related
to the life and work of longtime FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. In 2010,
Museum curatorial staff and volunteers spent hundreds of hours conserving,
researching, cataloging, and documenting the Hoover collection.
Through a donation from the J. Edgar Hoover Foundation, the Museum
acquired more than 5,000 items from Director Hoover’s estate, including his
office desk, chair and telephone, presentation items, awards, photographs,
correspondence, books, recordings of Mr. Hoover’s speeches and numerous
other items that relate to his personal and professional life, specifically his
tenure as director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972.
In addition to acquiring the Hoover collection, the research facility in the
Museum will be named the J. Edgar Hoover Research Center, thanks to
the generous financial support from the J. Edgar Hoover Foundation and
four other organizations: the Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI;
the FBI National Academy Associates; the National Executive Institute
Associates; and the Society of FBI Alumni.
PRofile: Marion Ramey
J. Edgar Hoover Foundation
“J. Edgar Hoover has been
called the ‘Father of Modern
Law Enforcement.’ He was
the catalyst that really made
law enforcement a profession
— training, using forensics,
creating the first FBI laboratory,
etc. His contributions to the law
enforcement community have
been tremendous.
The J. Edgar Hoover Foundation
was established after Hoover’s
death in 1972. The collection, comprised of his personal
estate and property, first was housed in Valley Forge
and later at a Masonic Temple. But each location had
limited space — and lacked the ability to properly store
the collection.
There is no better place for the Hoover Collection than
at the Museum, where curatorial staff can properly
preserve and catalog this valuable collection.
In addition, providing the funding to build and name
the J. Edgar Hoover Research Center is an honor.
The Museum is educating the public on what law
enforcement really is and providing a vehicle that gives
the community a first-hand look at how law enforcement
really operates.”

Museum Education Programs
Before the Museum’s doors physically open, its educational
programming is currently under way.
Museum programs are developed in collaboration with advising
experts on three committees: the Education Advisory Committee,
the Domestic Violence Prevention Advisory Committee, and the Teen
Advisory Council. Partnerships with other community and educational
organizations also influence program development.
Programs are designed to accommodate diverse audiences and multiple
learning styles and abilities in an educational yet entertaining way. The
goal of all programs, whether for students, law enforcement, families,
teachers, or others, is to build mutual respect and foster cooperation
between the public and the law enforcement profession.
