Dear fellow public safety officers,

In June 2009, Governor Ted Kulongoski signed into Oregon law the Fallen Public Safety Officer license plate.  Money raised from the purchase of the license plate will pay for families and escorting officers to attend the national memorial when a public safety officer dies while protecting their community.  Besides allowing us to properly take care of families and escorting officers on their emotional trip of grieving a debilitating and shocking loss, the Fallen Public Safety Officer License Plate will allow the average citizen to say thank you for the work Oregon’s 35,000 fire fighters and police officers do everyday.

Oregon law requires that we not use taxpayer dollars to develop this plate. We must raise $23,700 to cover DMV administrative start-up costs before the plate will be produced. The sale of each plate will raise $32.00 for the Police Memorial Trust Fund. Plates are issued on a 4-year renewal cycle. If we sell 1,000 the first year of production $10,000 of the start up funds will be returned to the trust fund.

We are hoping that your organization will contribute and allow all Oregonians to show their support for the public safety officers that protect and serve.

We are inspired by the lives that the many fallen Oregon heroes lived and dedicate this plate to each of them and their families.
