The Badge

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum is excited to offer “The Badge,” the newest addition in our line-up of resources designed to connect you with our nation’s law enforcement officers and the communities they serve.

The mission of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum is to tell the story of American law enforcement, honor the fallen, and make it safer for those who serve. We are working to expand and enrich the relationship shared by law enforcement and the community through educational journeys, immersive exhibitions, and insightful programs.

“The Badge” mobile app brings you closer to the action, keeps you informed about happenings in the law-enforcement arena, and helps you stay engaged in our exciting collection and year-round programs. Within the virtual walls of our mobile app, you'll find stories of our earliest officers to today's heroes, artifacts from our collection of more than 20,000 objects telling the story of American law enforcement, and—most importantly—we’re proud that the app will serve as a platform for remembering the fallen officers engraved forever on our Memorial while also serving as an environment for constructive dialog that will help strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve.


Features for this mobile app include:

Spotlight Officers - Learn about fallen heroes and their career achievements as law enforcement officers.

Search Officers - Search through our database dating back to 1794 to learn about all the heroes that put their lives on the line of duty to serve our country. Filter your searches to narrow down your results so that you can find that specific hero you want to honor.
