On May 4, 2015,  the California Peace Officers' Memorial Foundation held its annual enrollment ceremony at the California Peace Officers Memorial Monument at 10th Street and Capitol Mall.  The names of 13 California Peace Officers killed in the line of duty in 2014 were added to the memorial and their families thanked for their continued sacrifices as they move forward in life without their loved ones.

"We saw horrible and tragic losses of too many California Peace Officers last year," said California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) President Alan Barcelona.  "Thirteen peace officers sacrificed their lives for the safety and protection of the communities they served.  Their families continue to grieve, their brothers and sisters in law enforcement continue to grieve.  These were very brave individuals who faced danger head-on to save others.  Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with their families."

"Losing one officer is losing one too many," said Barcelona.  "Today's ceremony is hard for the families of these fallen officers.  Our hope is they can find a little bit of  comfort in the support from peace officers and the citizens of California. May God bless them as they travel through the years and special events in their lives, without their loved one."
