The mission of the Peace Officers’ Memorial Foundation is to perpetuate the memory of law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the citizens of Texas. The Peace Officers’ Memorial Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. 

Since its inception in 1987, the foundation's uncompromising determination to preserve the rich history of Texas law enforcement and provide support for the families of peace officers has remained unparalleled. 

The foundation honors the fallen by providing assistance and support in a line of duty death. The foundation also offers college scholarships, sponsors the biennial Memorial Service at the State Capitol and supports research to find and honor all Texas Peace Officers who throughout history have made the ultimate sacrifice.
