Baltimore Police History is a Non-profit Organization Dedicated to Honoring and Remembering Baltimore Police Department's Fallen Heroes. More than 160 Officers have made the Ultimate Sacrifice for the City of Baltimore since 1784 and we are humbled to have taken on the role of preserving their names, and their memories by giving their friends, family, other officers, and citizens the opportunity to remember them, or get to know them. Rather than just read their names, or waiting until we post a memorial post on the day they died, We hope you will take the time to click on the following links and learn as much as you can about each of these officers. So when we do think of them or say a prayer asking for them to continue resting in peace, we'll have spent a little more time getting to know and understand their final moments.
