The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund

CORPORATE PARTNER / STERLING CIRCLE:


Blauer Manufacturing pledges $100,000 to the National Law Enforcement Museum

For three generations and for over 65 years, Blauer Manufacturing has specialized in supplying advanced technology uniforms for public safety personnel. Since 1999, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and Blauer Manufacturing have been partners in communicating the Memorial Fund's important law enforcement safety message. In support of National Law Enforcement Museum philanthropic initiative — A Matter of Honor — Blauer Manufacturing has continued their support by committing $100,000 to the Campaign to Build the National Law Enforcement Museum. This long-term partnership is a wonderful example of how companies can help support NLEOMF, and is representative of Blauer’s commitment to the law enforcement community.

"The Blauer family and employees sincerely believe that the creation of a national law enforcement memorial museum will have a real impact on the general public's awareness and appreciation for the risks that our men and women in uniform expose themselves to on a daily basis for the rest of us. Our support of the memorial fund will continue for many years to come. It is one of the ways we can give back to the community that has given so much to us." — Stephen Blauer

In November 2000, Congress passed a law, signed by then President Clinton, authorizing a national law enforcement museum to be built on federal property across from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Judiciary Square.

Scheduled to open in 2011, the 90,000-square-foot National Law Enforcement Museum in the nation's capital will be the first national museum in the world dedicated to law enforcement. The Museum will celebrate the vital contributions that America's law enforcement officers have made to our nation. It will be filled with hands-on activities, state-of-the-art interactive technology, and rotating educational exhibits that will explore the past, present and future of law enforcement in America. More than 500,000 visitors from around the world are expected yearly.

In addition to the exhibits, the museum will offer a forum for important discussions on current and emerging trends in law enforcement and serve as a research repository for law enforcement safety.

"It has been said that the Memorial we've built to honor our fallen officers tells the end of the story; now, we must build the National Law Enforcement Museum to tell the rest of the story — a story of incredible service and sacrifice throughout our nation's history," added Mr. Floyd.
