Dear Supporter
of Law Enforcement,
As you read last week, 75 law enforcement officers lost their lives in 2006.
Of these 75 officers, 22 died in automobile accidents, four officers died in
motorcycle accidents and five were struck by automobiles while outside of their
own vehicles. That's 31 officers — over 40%!
The growing number of officers killed in automobile accidents is a troubling
trend. This number has increased by 40% over the last three decades
and by 22% over the past year.
There are three measures that we believe can help decrease the number of
traffic-related law enforcement deaths:
However, we need your help to continue our work to generate increased public
support for the law enforcement profession by permanently recording and
appropriately commemorating the service and sacrifice of law enforcement
officers; and to provide information that will help promote law enforcement
safety.
By donating now, you will enable the NLEOMF to continue our in all of these
areas — as well as
continue our essential work to bring the National Law Enforcement Museum from
the planning table to reality.

Your help WILL make a difference in the lives of our law enforcement
officers. To make your online donation of $100, $75, $50 or $25,

Sincerely,
