SEC. 102. Findings.
The Congress finds the following:
In 2000, Congress passed and President William J. Clinton signed into law the National Law Enforcement Museum Act (Public Law 106–492), which authorized the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, Inc., to build the National Law Enforcement Museum on Federal land in the District of Columbia to honor and commemorate the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers in the United States.
In April 2016, construction began on the National Law Enforcement Museum in the District of Columbia across the street from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Judiciary Square.
The National Law Enforcement Museum formally opened in October of 2018.
The National Law Enforcement Museum’s mission is—
to honor and commemorate the extraordinary service and sacrifice of America’s law enforcement officers;
to serve as an important bridge between law enforcement’s past and present, between the heroes of yesteryear and those who have followed in their footsteps, and between America’s peace officers and the public they serve;
increase public understanding and support for law enforcement and to promote law enforcement safety; and
strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve with thought-provoking programs at the Museum and around the country that promote dialogue on topics of current interest.
