 FRIDAY May 10: Service and Sacrifice Releases for Streaming Globally The National Law Enforcement Museum’s highly rated short documentary film, Service and Sacrifice, will release to digital streaming platforms on May 10, 2024. The film, previously screened only for Museum visitors in Washington, DC, features a diverse group of officers serving different roles from around the U.S., and demonstrates what drives someone to become a police officer, what motivates them in their work, the obstacles they face, and how their families and loved ones feel about and are affected by what they do and the risks they take. The film demonstrates the human side of police officers—that they have families, fears, and dreams like everyone else—but that they are exceptional people who have chosen to put themselves at risk to make their communities safer and better places for all. Streaming channels that the film will be available for streaming include Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube, Tubi, and more!
