NEWINGTON, N.H., (May 13, 2019) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is honored to announce the release of three commemorative pistols to benefit the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF). The pistols include a 1911 Nitron, 1911 Stainless, and P320 Carry that are exclusively engraved to honor law enforcement, and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each pistol will be donated to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund was founded in 1984 whose mission is to tell the story of American Law Enforcement, remember the fallen, and make it safer for those that serve. NLEOMF built and maintains the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, the nation’s monument to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, and the National Law Enforcement Museum. NLEOMF is the organizer of National Police Week, and conducts research into officer fatality trends and issues.
“This week is National Police Week and SIG SAUER honors our law enforcement officers that put themselves in harms way every day, while remembering those that paid the ultimate sacrifice,” said Tom Jankiewicz, Executive Vice President Law Enforcement Sales. “The production of these unique pistols will raise awareness for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, and provide funding to support the important work they do on behalf of our nation’s law enforcement officers.”
