  • To provide scholarships and assistance to surviving widows and children of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty
  • To provide graduate scholarships to law enforcement officers selected by their agency based upon achievement and performance in the line of duty
  • To foster and encourage cooperation among law enforcement agencies, affiliated organizations, the business community and the public by sponsoring annual events
  • To give recognition to specific law enforcement agencies and individuals for outstanding performance of duty
  • To give recognition awards to law enforcement officials and individuals who have had outstanding careers in law enforcement and service to their community and country
  • To recognize individual citizens who have supported law enforcement
