Founded in 2017 by Megan Stockburger and Adam Davenport, the National Law Enforcement Officer Hall of Fame was created to spotlight officers who embody the best in service, valor, courage and duty. “It brings us great joy to highlight the courageous men and women in law enforcement” said Stockburger. “It is important that we shine a light on a side of law enforcement that we often do not get to hear about.”

“The amount of nominees from over 39 states proves how much this recognition is needed for these officers,” added Davenport. “We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for standing the line between good and evil on our behalf.”

The 2023 Inauguration Dinner will be held on March 30 from 5:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. EST at The Marriott Renaissance downtown Toledo, Ohio.
