Mission Statement
Remembering the law enforcement heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect lawabiding Texans is the mission of the Peace Officers' Memorial Foundation (POMF), a 501 (C)(3) charitable organization.
Description
The foundation strives to perpetuate the memory of Texas law enforcement officers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving their communities. The POMF conducts extensive research to ensure that every Texas officer killed in the line of duty is documented and given recognition on the Texas Peace Officers' Memorial in Austin. In recent years, the POMF has paid out over $450,000 in death benefits and scholarships to the survivors of officers killed in the line of duty. The foundation is funded solely by contributions and through sales of foundation memorabilia and products. We do not raise money via telephone solicitations.
