The mission of the Heroes of the St. Pete Police and Fire, Inc. is to honor St. Petersburg policemen and firemen who have lost their lives in the line of duty and to provide financial support to assist policemen, firemen and their families during a crisis or tragedy.
There have been 15 policemen and 3 firemen down in the line of duty from the St. Pete Police and Fire Rescue forces. We have completed a Fallen Police Officer Memorial. We are working to honor our fallen firemen with a monument to show our appreciation. And we have established a fund to support policemen, firemen and their families.
