39th Annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service in Washington, D.C. Canceled Due to COVID-19

It is with great regret that, for the first time in the event's history, the 39th Annual National Peace officers' Memorial Service in Washington, D.C. has been canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Teams are consulting with the Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS) and other groups to develop a fitting tribute to honor the families of the fallen for the 2019 calendar year and will develop a plan to move forward after this crisis subsides to honor the sacrifices made by our fallen heroes in the way that has been done over the last 39 years.

The National FOP and Memorial Committee will undertake an effort to have a meaningful and respectful media tribute to our fallen heroes on May 15th, National Peace Officers' Memorial Day.

It is with heavy sadness that we cannot come together this year, to grieve with our survivor families and draw strength from one another on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol, but given the national crisis we must, as we always have, put the safety of the public first. <br><br>Please keep an eye out for updated information on how we will honor our fallen heroes once our nation recovers from this unprecedented pandemic.
