The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund announced last week that it has successfully secured the funding needed to build the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, D.C.

The tax-exempt bond financing -- underwritten by HJ Sims- means that construction will begin in February, with the expected to opening of the museum slated for mid-2018, according to a news release.

"Securing the financing will allow us to now complete construction of the museum and share the powerful story of law enforcement with hundreds of thousands of visitors each year," NLEOMF Chairman and CEO Craig W. Floyd said in a statement. "We could not have gotten to this milestone moment without the valued assistance of the District of Columbia Government, the determined effort of our bond underwriting firm, HJ Sims and, of course, the generous support of our Museum donors."

The National Law Enforcement Museum was authorized by the U.S. Congress and will be built in historic Judiciary Square in Washington, D.C., adjacent to the existing National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.

"HJ Sims is honored to have led the financing to establish the National Law Enforcement Museum," Aaron Rulnick, Managing Principal with HJ Sims said. "Our entire firm has been dedicated to ensuring a successful and solid financing for the NLEOMF to make its vision of the Museum a reality and to fulfill its role of being a vital resource for the law enforcement community and the public."

The NLEOMF has set a goal of raising an additional $25 million over the next several years to help sustain the Museum's operating and maintenance costs.
