Police Memorial Fund
Thank You for Your Interest in the Baltimore County Police Memorial Fund
The Police Memorial Fund was established and dedicated to providing and maintaining our Police Memorial. For decades our Memorial has honored those officers of the Baltimore County Police Department who made the ultimate sacrifice, in service to Baltimore County. Additionally, at it’s inception, the Fund supported numerous scholarships, administered by the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 4, honoring the memory of these officers.
The Fund also financed enhancements to the Memorial, making it more accessible for all visitors, as well as for ceremonial events conducted at the site. A motivating factor in this project, was the desire of Mrs. Joan Prothero, mother of our Fallen Hero – Sgt. Bruce Prothero, who asked about the feasibility of making the Memorial accessible to all. Though our efforts to accomplish this were successful, that success pales in contrast to the loss suffered by the Prothero family, and all of the Fallen Officers and their families, for whom this memorial stands.
As of December, 2025, the Fund is NO LONGER active
Over the years of its existence, the Police Memorial Fund provided necessary support for modifications and improvements. More importantly, it supported many efforts honoring our fallen officers, their families, and their co-workers, including financing hundreds of scholarships for the children and families of our Members.
Just as the Memorial is perpetual, the efforts of the Fund are also considered everlasting, as it was able to provide testament to our past, and an road map for the present and future, in honor of the Fallen Heroes of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
