Our IPA members took an oath to protect and serve. We are told in the academy that every one of us will know someone killed in the line of duty during our career. Unfortunately, this is a true statement. Nothing means more to our IPA members than to be able to honor their brothers and sisters in blue who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service of their community.
Each year the IPA uses fundraising money to send officers to the annual ceremonies at the California and National Police Officers Memorials. This is our way of feeling connected to our profession across the state, and country.
“Attending the Peace Officer Memorial in Washington DC was something I feel like every police officer should do at least once in their lifetime. It is truly moving to see so many members of the law enforcement community coming together to pay their respects for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I’ve never felt so proud of my chosen profession.”
– Sgt. G. Gales, recipient of the 2018 IPA funded trip to the National Peace Officer Memorial
The mission of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is to tell the story of American law enforcement, honor the fallen and make it safer for those who serve. To inspire all citizens to value law enforcement.
“I think it's amazing that our association is able to send officers to the National Law Enforcement Memorial every year. I was even more surprised when I won the trip. Not only will it be great to visit our nation's capital, but to be one of the few to represent Irvine PD while there is very humbling.”
– Officer L. Campbell, recipient of 2019 IPA funded trip to the National Peace Officer Memorial
