Tyler Technologies is proud to be a supporting sponsor of National Police Week, an annual event to honor law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. To help us learn more about National Police Week, we are pleased to welcome Bill Alexander, Executive Director of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. His organization hosts the official National Police Week events in Washington, D.C. A retired police officer himself, Bill will share his unique perspective on the history of National Police Week and what the event means both to the surviving family members of the fallen officers as well as to the wider law enforcement community.

Bill Alexander joined the NLEOMF with nearly 30 years of law enforcement experience, starting with the United States Air Force and then as a local police officer in Prince George’s County, a Maryland community just outside of Washington, D.C.  He started as a patrol officer and was quickly promoted through a variety of supervisory and command level roles such as media relations, internal affairs, police training academy, and command of the Hyattsville District station, the area which surrounds the University of Maryland.  He also forged strong relationships with local/state elected leaders, government officials, and advocacy groups as the department’s lead legislative liaison.  He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Management and a Master’s degree in Leadership from Johns Hopkins University.  Alexander’s leadership and extensive background in law enforcement will help ensure the Memorial Fund does not falter in its mission, to honor all those who fall in the line of duty.
