Each Spring, The Peace Officers’ Memorial Foundation in association with CLEAT, the Texas Peace Officers Memorial Committee, C.O.P.S. and other Texas Law Enforcement groups honor the fallen officers who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.
We honor these brave women and men with a Candlelight Vigil and a Memorial held at the Texas State Capitol’s South Steps.
In addition to these events, the Peace Officers’ Memorial Foundation also hosts the Ride for the Fallen, RFTF which is a motorcycle ride from Cowboy Harley in South Austin to the Peace Officers’ Memorial Monument at the Capitol. Each year, over 800+ riders come to honor the fallen.
