Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day
“The Hill of Remembrance” and the "Walk of Heroes"
​
For the past 15 years, the Police Hall of Fame has utilized a beautiful visual image to aid in remembering fallen heroes. This image came to be called “The Hill of Remembrance”. Each year flags are posted on the hillside out front of the Hall of Fame in honor of each fallen officer honored by the American Police Hall of Fame & Museum. This past May, during Police Week, 11,600 flags were posted.

2025 Memorial Day Service
On Friday, May 16th, the United States Law Enforcement Foundation hosted a moving Memorial Service on the grounds of the American Police Hall of Fame in Titusville, Florida. The event brought together family survivors, co-workers, and friends to honor and remember law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
The evening began at 7:00 p.m. with a powerful roll call of officers who fell in 2024, followed by a special tribute to those whose family members were in attendance. The ceremony offered a space for reflection, remembrance, and unity—an opportunity to stand together in support of our Thin Blue Line families.
Attendees were encouraged to arrive early to visit the museum and locate their loved ones’ names etched into the Memorial. The museum extended its hours until 9:30 p.m., allowing guests to explore its extensive collection of over 10,000 exhibits dedicated to the legacy and sacrifice of American law enforcement.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all who attended and helped honor the memory of those who gave their all in service to others.
Family Activity Saturday
​Family survivors came together for a beautiful day at Fox Lake Park, enjoying airboat rides, scenic trail tours, up-close animal encounters, lively line dancing, and plenty of delicious food and heartfelt fellowship.
The special activities were made possible thanks to the generous support of the Florida Wildlife Commission and the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, who provided airboats, all-terrain vehicles, and a captivating wildlife exhibit featuring a live alligator.
