Bill Summary
Commending the Officer Down Memorial Page.
AI Summary
This resolution commends the Officer Down Memorial Page, a prominent organization dedicated to preserving the memory of law-enforcement officers killed in the line of duty across the United States. Founded by Chris Cosgriff, the organization began by honoring fallen officers and has since grown into a nonprofit that maintains a comprehensive database of over 27,000 officers and 500 K9 officers, reaching millions annually through its website and mobile app. The Officer Down Memorial Page provides valuable resources, including data and statistics for officer safety, a death notification service, historical records for law enforcement agencies, and support for families of fallen officers, such as a free booklet and assistance with parole hearings. The organization also collaborates with other groups to provide essential equipment like body armor, offer training to reduce preventable deaths, and support K9 programs, while also organizing fundraising events like the National Police Week 5K race.
