Our motivation...our mission...is to be in service

their families. Since the Band's inception we have

The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation is a
not-for-profit organization dedicated to honoring the
lives and memories of our fallen heroes. The Foundation
provides support and assistance to the families of
Chicago Police Officers who sacrificed their lives.
Established in 2004, the Foundation strengthens the
relationship between the Chicago Police, its business
and civic leaders, and its citizenry. It allows us to
express our gratitude to the fallen Officers families
for the ultimate sacrifice of their loved one.
Over
420 Chicago Police Officers have given their lives to
protect the people of Chicago. These brave men and
women were more than just Police Officers. They were
parents, spouses, and children. They were your
neighbors, your friends, and your protectors, and each
served with loyalty to this city and to you, its
citizens. Each one of them went to work on their
fateful day knowing the risks that came when they
decided to dedicate their life to protect all of us.
