Washington, DC — When the National Law Enforcement Museum opens its doors in the nation's capital in 2011, visitors will be able to experience first-hand the day-to-day life of America's law enforcement officers, thanks to a $1 million pledge from Panasonic.


The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) has announced that Secaucus, NJ-based Panasonic will sponsor "A Day in the Life," an exhibition within the Museum's "Being an Officer" gallery. Here, visitors will learn about the challenges, dangers and opportunities involved in patrolling the streets, answering calls for service and responding to emergencies. Dynamic videos will take visitors through a "day in the life" of officers from the San Francisco Police Department, the Minnesota State Patrol, and the Natchez Trace National Park in Mississippi.

" 'A Day in the Life' is where the public will learn all about the day-to-day challenges of law enforcement and the unpredictability of going from dull to dangerous in seconds," said Craig W. Floyd, Chairman and CEO of the NLEOMF, which is leading the effort to build the first-ever National Law Enforcement Museum. "Through Panasonic's generous support, we will be able to ensure that this exhibition provides a compelling, exciting and accurate portrait of how our law enforcement officers work to keep us safe every day of the year," he added.

Said Rance M. Poehler, president of Panasonic Computer Solutions Company, "The National Law Enforcement Museum is a meaningful tribute to the service of our nation's finest, and we are confident that our support of the 'A Day in the Life' exhibition will help inspire a new appreciation for their tireless efforts to maintain law and order."
