Telling the Story of America’s Law Enforcement with Bill Alexander
Founded in 1984, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is dedicated to honoring the fallen, telling the story of American Law Enforcement and making it safer for those who serve. The Memorial’s walls are filled with the names of law enforcement heroes who, while not always household names, played important roles in U.S. history nonetheless.
On this episode of the Blue View Podcast, National President Patrick Yoes is joined by Bill Alexander, who recently became the CEO of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. As a results-driven, former law enforcement professional, Bill joins the organization with nearly 30 years of overall experience, starting with the United States Air Force as a Security Police Officer at Andrews Air Force Base.
Bill began the next phase of his career when he joined the Prince George’s County Police Department in August 1997. He later became the Commander of the Training and Education Division, where he oversaw a forward-thinking, community policing-based police academy responsible for training new recruits and existing sworn and civilian personnel.
Law enforcement officers have one of the toughest and most dangerous jobs in the United States. The brave men and women of law enforcement are charged with the enormous responsibility of keeping our streets and neighborhoods safe.
Be sure to tune in to Blue View, a weekly podcast presented by the National Fraternal Order of Police, to hear from law enforcement experts, elected officials, and other notable leaders to gain insight into the issues and current events surrounding the law enforcement community. Each episode will leave you with a better understanding of what law enforcement officers face daily. Together, we can rebuild the trust between police officers and the communities they serve.
