The National Law Enforcement Officer Hall of Fame is delighted to announce that its Induction Ceremony for the year 2026 is set for April 10 at The Omni Fort Worth Hotel. This event will celebrate an exceptional group of law enforcement professionals whose dedication, leadership, and sacrifices have made a significant impact across the nation.

The event will be livestreamed exclusively on Law&Crime”s YouTube channel, reaching a global audience of more than 7.4 million subscribers. This partnership expands public access, ensuring the stories of the 2026 inductees are shared with viewers across the country.

Dan Abrams, the founder and CEO of Law&Crime, expressed his excitement about teaming up with the National Law Enforcement Officer Hall of Fame to livestream the upcoming award ceremony. “I’ve always felt that our police officers deserve more recognition, and this partnership is a step towards honoring the finest in the field,” Abrams stated.

Established in 2017 by Megan Stockburger and Adam Davenport, the National Law Enforcement Officer Hall of Fame serves to recognize outstanding law enforcement officers and preserve the legacy of those who have made significant sacrifices while serving their communities.

“Our mission to honor law enforcement officers involves ensuring their stories are shared and remembered,” said Megan Stockburger, co-founder of the Hall of Fame. “Collaborating with Law&Crime enables us to broadcast the ceremony beyond just those in attendance, shining a spotlight on the bravery and dedication these inductees stand for.”

Reflecting on his career, Tom Smith, a retired NYPD detective and 2024 inductee, remarked, “Law enforcement is more than a job; it’s a lifelong commitment. Every case, partner, and long shift contributes to shaping both the officers and the communities they serve.”
