WASHINGTON, D.C. — Securitas Security Services USA has law enforcement roots that date to the mid-19th Century. Now, the Parsippany, NJ-based security company is stepping forward to support the first-ever national museum dedicated to law enforcement history and operations in the United States.

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) announced that Securitas has donated $50,000 to the capital campaign for the National Law Enforcement Museum, an architecturally inspiring, world-class museum scheduled to open in downtown Washington, DC, in 2011.

"Securitas Security Services USA has a rich law enforcement history dating back to 1850 with Allan Pinkerton, who helped organize the U.S. Secret Service, and William J. Burns, who was appointed director of the newly formed Bureau of Investigation in 1921," said Don Walker, chairman of Securitas Security Services, Inc. "We are pleased to make this contribution and be a part of the effort to increase public awareness about the history of law enforcement in the U.S."

NLEOMF Chairman Craig W. Floyd said, "We are proud to have a company which holds such an important place in American history be a part of our Museum effort. Unlike any other facility in the country, the National Law Enforcement Museum will trace the history of law enforcement in America back to colonial times, and we will put that history in the context of law enforcement's unique mission to serve and protect our citizens and preserve our democracy," he added.

Authorized by Congress in the year 2000, the planned National Law Enforcement Museum is a 95,000 square foot, mostly underground museum to be located just blocks from the U.S. Capitol and adjacent to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. When it opens in 2011, the Museum will provide an estimated 600,000 visitors a year with a comprehensive and compelling look at law enforcement in America. The Museum will feature high-tech, interactive exhibitions, interesting historical and contemporary artifacts, and extensive educational programming. Groundbreaking is scheduled for later in 2008.

The privately funded Museum has launched an $80 million capital campaign, with nearly $33 million raised to date. For more information about the National Law Enforcement Museum, including a virtual tour, visit www.LawEnforcementMuseum.org.

About the NLEOMF
Founded in 1984, the non-profit National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund works to increase public support for the law enforcement profession by permanently recording and appropriately commemorating the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers, and to provide information that promotes law enforcement safety. In 1991, the NLEOMF dedicated the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, on which the names of approximately 18,000 officers who have died in the line of duty throughout U.S. history are engraved. The NLEOMF is now leading the effort to build the first-ever National Law Enforcement Museum. For more information, visit www.NationalPoliceMemorial.com.
