Honoring Fallen Officers

POMFCC stands with the families of Illinois officers who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The Peace Officers Memorial Foundation of Cook County (POMFCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to honoring every peace officer who has died in the line of duty. We are building the first permanent memorial in Cook County to ensure their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.
 

Help Us Reach Our Goal​

A new memorial design has been completed, and land has been donated at Cermak Woods in Lyons, IL. We are now raising the final $200,000 needed to break ground and begin construction.​​​

   Why This Memorial Matters

  • The sacrifice officers make

  • The families left behind

  • The need for a permanent place of remembrance

  • The fact that Cook County has never had a permanent memorial
