The Officer Down Memorial Page, Inc. (ODMP) is a non-profit organization that maintains a website listing American law enforcement officers, prison officers and police dogs who have died in the line of duty. The ODMP was established in 1996 by Chris Cosgriff, then a freshman at James Madison University. Originally, it focused only on officers who were recently killed at the time, but it gradually expanded to include officers killed in the line of duty dating as far back as 1791. The ODMP claims to be accessed by over 250,000 unique visitors per month. Its research staff are volunteers managed by a lieutenant from the New York City Police Department. The organization has uncovered hundreds of "forgotten" line-of-duty deaths and has assisted in ensuring those officers are properly recognized on appropriate police memorials. More information...
