| NEVADA LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS MEMORIAL |
| NSLEOA SALUTES THE MEMORIAL |
The Nevada Law Enforcement Officers Memorial was dedicated on May 13, 1998.
Governor Bob Miller, hundreds of state dignitaries and law enforcement officers from
around the state, and Tom Ely, who was at the time the President of the State of
Nevada Peace Officer's Association [now NSLEOA], attended the dedication
ceremony. Each year in May a ceremony is held at the Memorial to honor those who
gave their lives in the line of duty. This memorial to Nevada's slain law enforcement
officers was built through private contributions. The fund raising effort was led by
the Nevada Conference of Police and Sheriffs and their member associations prior
to 1998. THIS MEMORIAL RECEIVES "NO FUNDING" FROM ANY
GOVERNMENT AGENCY. The maintenance and up-keep is also paid by private
contributions. The Memorial Commission is headed by Frank Adams, historian.

Each year in May, Nevada's law enforcement officers make an Olympic type run from
Las Vegas to Carson City. The baton they pass to one another carries the names of
Nevada's fallen officers (103 names as of 9-1-08). The baton is symbolic of the life the
fallen have given for our safety and that they will always be remembered.
When the last runner reaches their final destination in Carson City, a ceremony
follows at the Memorial which is attended by hundreds of law enforcement officers,
widows and orphans of the slain officers as well as dignitaries and the public.
