AMERICAN FEDERATION OF POLICE & CONCERNED  CITIZENS:

Since  1960, AFP&CC has served over 8,000,000 Americans with tips on self  protection, home security, vehicle safety, rape prevention and more while  continuing to assist family survivors (See below). These programs are supported  through the generosity of over 130,000 donors and members nationwide. Also, AFP&CC publishes the Police Times Magazine and Police Family Survivor Fund Quarterly Newsletter. The American Federation of Police and Concerned Citizens (AFP&CC) was incorporated in 1978 to serve the rank and file police officer. Over the years, the vision for AFP&CC has grown to include crime prevention,  public safety and police family survivor programs. As the program focus has grown, so has support from the public. Through the generous support of our donors, AFP&CC has also been instrumental in the support of the American Police Hall of Fame and Museum. APHF has received direct financial support from  AFP&CC, as well as a prominent place in Police Times Magazine and the AFP&CC Newsletter. The Museum will bolster the public’s awareness of law  enforcement and crime prevention. Financial Information

The Museum, through interactive displays, simulators and nearly 11,000 artifacts,  educates the public about the history and current trends of American law enforcement. Featured at the Museum is a state-of-the-art 24 lane indoor gun range and is open to the public six days a week. Helicopter rides are also  offered at the Museum. The Memorial lists over 7,000 officers who were killed in the line of duty. Their names are permanently etched on the Memorial’s marble walls, which are added to once a year for Police Memorial Day.
