IL FOP Foundation

As we start National Police Week in Washington DC. Let's reflect on the officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

This Friday, 363 names will be added to the wall. Including two from Illinois. Officer Krystal Rivera (Chicago Police Department, E.O.W. 06-05-2025) and Detective Tim Jones (Park Forest Police Department, E.O.W. 12-03-2025).

National Police Week, observed annually in May, honors law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty, rooted in a 1962 proclamation by President John F. Kennedy. It officially designates May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and features week-long events in Washington, D.C., including a candlelight vigil and memorial service.

2026 Memorial shirts on sale now.
