The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund depends on the support of a special group of volunteers: Ambassadors.

The NLEOMF Ambassador Program identifies individuals in law enforcement across the nation who believe passionately in our mission to honor the fallen, tell the story of American law enforcement, and make it safer for those who serve.

Ambassadors demonstrate this commitment by building awareness and generating support for the organization, while giving officers the opportunity to participate—firsthand—in honoring the men and women whose names are engraved on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.

Tomorrow, the Museum opens its first art exhibition, "Officers as Artists", which aims to shed light on the role of art and discover how creative expression serves law enforcement officers.
