Participation in Memorial Service
HONOR GUARD
If your agency's team wishes to sign up for the Cordon and Colors Honor Guard at the May 15th Fraternal Order of Police National Peace Officers Memorial Service, each team member will need to complete the online registration form.
On May 15th, check in for Honor Guards will be at the Garfield Circle Entrance. Plan to be in position from 0830 hrs to around 1600 hrs when the service concludes. Please do not bring rifles or flags, they will not be needed for the National Peace Officers Memorial Service.
MUSICAL PERFORMANCES
If you wish to be considered to perform any of the musical elements during the National Peace Officers Memorial Service on May 15th, please contact committee members Andy Maybo or Matt Hagen at fopmemorial@gmail.com. You must include a short bio (including any FOP lodge affiliation as well as your Department/Agency) and the type of song/performance for which you wish to be considered. Once received, you will be instructed further on how to send in your submission. Submissions may be sent by CD, link, etc., via US mail or by e-mail.
Performance submissions are best when performed solo with minimal instrumentation.
National Law Enforcement Museum
The National Law Enforcement Museum is encouraging people who are planning to visit during Police Week to purchase their tickets early to avoid selling out of the available time slots.
There is no parking at the Museum, and street parking is extremely limited in the area. There are several parking garages in the neighborhood, along E Street NW and at Capital One Arena, just two blocks away. The Museum does offer a small cafe where cold sandwiches, snacks and drinks can be purchased. You can also bring a boxed lunch to eat at the Museum cafe. Unfortunately, no food or drinks are allowed on the exhibit floor and must stay in the cafe area. Additionally, a second Museum Gift Shop will open at First Trinity Lutheran Church during Police Week. The church can be found on the corner of E and 4th Streets NW, half a block for the Museum.
