Patrol Rifle Donation Program
The Foundation is able to raise money to purchase patrol rifles. These rifles are then given away to full time Florida police officers who do not have a rifle who support our efforts. We are able to purchase one rifle for every Florida Fallen Officer from the previous year. Each rifle is engraved with:
“Remembering”
(Fallen Officers Name)
(Fallen Officers Department)
The Fallen Officers End Of Watch (EOW) Date
During the State Ride, while visiting each officers department, we ask a member of that family to choose a card which has every supporting Florida Police Officer who registered during the year. The winning officer then receives that Fallen Officers engraved rifle to carry with him on the job. In many ways, some past winners have said, it’s like the Fallen Officer is there with him while he is on the job.
If you have the ability and would like to donate a rifle this year, please feel free to contact me at any time…
