The B.C. Police Memorial Committee was formed in September 2000. The committee is comprised of serving and retired police officers as well as family members of the officers killed in-the-line-of-duty.
The B.C. Memorial Committee is a sub-committee of the Vancouver Police Mutual Benevolent Association a registered non-profit society.
The goals of the committee are twofold, education and awareness. To educate the serving members of Police Departments as well as the public about the ultimate sacrifice these heroes made. Awareness, by reminding the police officers of the dangers they face every day - to always be on guard and thereby prevent another killed in-the-line-of-duty death.
The committee would like to thank these sponsors for their support in this project.
