WASHINGTON (Map, News) - The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) will formally unveil plans Wednesday to construct the first National Law Enforcement Museum. At the event NLEOMF will also launch their fundraising campaign for the project, “A Matter of Honor: The Campaign to Support the National Law Enforcement Museum.”

Once the museum opens, NLEOMF Chairman and CEO Craig Floyd, says, “The highlight of the museum will be interactivity.”

Floyd also says on Wednesday reporters will have the chance to try an interactive exhibit that the museum will feature once it opens. The exhibit will be what some people call “Shoot or Don't Shoot. “Actual police training courses use this simulation. It teaches trainees what to do in cases where they need to make split-second decisions.

Floyd mentioned a number of supporters of this project. Among them are former Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush. The two serve as honorary co-chairs for the campaign committee. They will not attend, but Floyd says that audience members will hear their thoughts on the importance of this museum.

Former U.S. Attorney Generals Edwin Meese, Richard Thornburgh and John Ashcroft will attend the event. They will speak about the importance of the Law Enforcement Museum.

Christopher Chadbourne, designer of exhibitions for the museum and Davis Buckley, the museum's architect, will also attend. Both will answer questions regarding their work on the museum.

Floyd also spoke of the Police Unity Tour, a group of police officers from around the country who ride bicycles from Florham Park, N.J. to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington D.C. They do this in memory of all of the United States police officers who have died in the line of duty, ever since the first incident in 1792.

Thus far, the Police Unity Tour has made the largest contribution to the creation of the National Law Enforcement Museum. There will definitely be members of this group present on Wednesday.

The announcement will take place at the National Press Club in the Holeman Lounge, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 28. To RSVP contact Nyla Saleh at 202-729-4205 or at Nyla.Saleh@ogilvypr.com.
