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. “Now more than ever, our nation needs to be reminded of the incredible work law enforcement officers are doing to keep our communities safe,” said Stockburger. “We need to acknowledge and support these men and women and to remind them that the negative clamor we hear against police is not coming from the majority of citizens.” “This year’s inductees, as with previous years, represent the best of this country,” added Davenport. “We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for standing the line between good and evil on our behalf.”
In 2019, Calibre Press, a renowned law enforcement training organization that has trained more than 1 million law enforcement professionals over its more than 40-year history, partnered with the Hall of Fame to raise national awareness of the organization’s efforts. “We could not have been more supportive of and impressed by Megan and Adam’s work. It became immediately evident to our entire team that their mission fell squarely in line with ours and we needed to help further that in any way we can,” said Calibre’s CEO Scott Buhrmaster.
The 2022 Inauguration Dinner will be held on March 24 from 5:30pm – 9pm eastern at The Pinnacle just outside of Toledo. All are welcome to attend.
