The primary mission of the Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP) is to honor law
enforcement officers who have given their lives in the line of duty. ODMP's
Memorial Grant Program provides funds to agencies and organizations for the
purpose of restoring, repairing, and/or creating physical memorials for fallen
officers.
ODMP's Memorial Grant Program has awarded more than $20,000 to agencies
throughout the country to create memorials. Starting in 2019, the revised
program will provide grants of up to $1,000 to be used to restore or repair
existing memorials or grave markers, place grave markers for fallen officers
without one, or to create physical memorials honoring officers who have died in
the line of duty.
Applications will be accepted through November 15th, 2019, for grants to be
awarded in this calendar year. The review process will begin at the close of the
application window. Decisions will be made and funds dispersed by the end of
the calendar year.

Office from implementing its programs
as designed. Once the Ninth Circuit’s
decision to reverse the injunction has
taken effect, our office is prepared to
launch the COPS Hiring Program (CHP)
and the Community Policing
Development Microgrants Program as
soon as possible.

For the FOP to represent its members in the most effective way possible, we started the
National Fraternal Order of Police Political Action Committee (NFOP PAC). The NFOP
PAC is the power behind our organization's punch on Capitol Hill. The NFOP PAC strives
to educate members of Congress about issues important to law enforcement officers
and electing candidates that support them.
We do this by promoting the
FOP's legislative priorities and
providing the opportunity for
individuals who are interested in
safety, health and occupational
security of rank-and-file law
enforcement officers to
contribute to worthy candidates
for Federal office who believe
and have demonstrated their
support of the principles to which
the FOP is dedicated.
Our challenge to you is to have each and every FOP member in your department, lodge,
and state commit $5.00 a month to the NFOP PAC. This $5.00 is an investment in your
future, in the future of law enforcement and the future of the Fraternal Order of Police.
Please click the donate button to learn about the various ways you can contribute to
the NFOP PAC.
