2023 Israeli PUT

Police Unity Tour Celebrates Life

The Police Unity Tour, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund’s partner association, provides critical funding annually to help us honor officers killed in the line of duty by organizing a bike ride from New Jersey to Washington, DC. The contingent of Israeli National Police officers that comes for the Police Unity Tour every May rides with Chapter 1 in NJ. It is known, however, as Group 18. Eighteen equates to the letters in the Hebrew alphabet that spell “chai.” From Hebrew, chai translates to “life.”

A month before the Hamas attacks and war broke out on October 7, 2023, officers from New Jersey and across the country participated in the 2023 Israeli Police Unity Tour. From that journey have come messages of strength and support, which have resonated from New Jersey to Gaza to the highest levels of leadership in Israel. And these messages have reinforced what they ride for. Read their story in this piece from the October issue of New Jersey Cops magazine.

Honor Chair

Honor Chair Built for the Fallen

Last week, Saving A Hero's Place, with the support of FinancialCop, built an Honor Chair on site to be placed on display within the Museum. Honor Chairs represent a permanent seat for our nation’s fallen heroes so that they always have a place within their respected department. Saving A Hero’s Place custom builds the honor chairs in memory of fallen law enforcement. The chairs are donated to the agency where the fallen hero once worked. To date, over 260 honor chairs have been donated across 29 states. The National Law Enforcement Museum's Honor Chair has been built and dedicated in memory of all of those lost across our nation.

Tire Deflation Devices

OSW Report Released

The Officer Safety and Wellness team at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund has completed an in-depth examination of 10 years of law enforcement fatalities linked to the use of tire deflation devices, otherwise known as “spike strips.” The report highlights the risks taken by many officers as they attempt to stop fleeing suspects by placing these deflation devices directly into the path of an oncoming vehicle. This brief report emphasizes the importance of proper use and deployment of these devices to safely end pursuits and to reduce the risks many officers take when trying to quickly deploy them.
