The Memorial site is being remodeled. Phase 1 of 3 should start next week. We are using existing funds to complete phase 1, but will need support from the community to finish phase 2 and 3. We accept tax deductible donations on our website and we are launching a campaign for the community to purchase engraved bricks to be placed at the remodeled memorial site. Website: www.qcleom.com.

Adventure Christian Community Davenport Iowa. This Sunday March 29, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. The Quad Cities Law Enforcement Officers Memorial is naming Tony Liston as its Chaplin. He is the pastor of the church and will be presented with a Chaplin badge.
Tony Liston has been on our committee for over a year and stepped in to replace Chaplin Curtis Fee after several years of service. There are many great area Chaplin's, however one that is willing to step up, help plan, coordinate and work towards bringing all area Chaplin's together and work towards a combined training program, well you just don't see that as often.

QC Police Memorial Service is on May 3rd 2015 at 1:30p.m. This year it will be at Adventure Christian Community. (We rotate churches every year between both states). We always show a tribute video, the Honor Guard will post colors, bagpipes will play and a Solo will be performed by a local police Chief.
Immediately following the church service we will have a procession to the Justice Center in Rock Island Illinois where our memorial site is located. The names of the fallen officers will be read and a family member of officer or a fellow police officer will place a flower on a wreath in their memory. Bagpiper and Taps, and hopefully a 7 gun salute. (In the event it appears it's going to rain during the Justice Center part of the service, the entire event will be held at Adventure Christian Community Church. A decision will be made by 1:15 prior to the service.
