We are
currently conducting a memorial fund drive to support
California Highway Patrol Officer Thomas Coleman's wife
Jamie and their two young children, as well as California
Highway Patrol Officer Justin McGrory's expectant wife Kelly
and her three children. Officer Coleman
was killed in the line of duty on June 11, 2010 during a
high speed pursuit of a vehicle attempting to evade him.
Officer McGrory was killed in the line of duty on June 27,
2010 during a traffic stop. Donations can be made by mailing a check, made out to the
Inland Empire Emerald Society, to our mailing address on our
'Contact' page. Please note 'Memorial Fund' on the
memo line. Donations can also be made using major
credit cards or PayPal by clicking on the 'Donate' button at
the lower left of this page.
The Inland Empire Emerald Society was founded in
March of 2006.
IEES is incorporated in the State of California as a non-profit organization. The
primary objective of the
Society is to
provide immediate financial support to the families of Inland
Empire law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, as well
as supporting the local, state and national memorials and to foster goodwill among members of the numerous law enforcement communities in Southern California and to celebrate the accomplishments and dedication of Irish-American peace officers.
On May 14, 2006, the Inland Empire Emerald Society became the
76th Chapter of the
National Conference of Law Enforcement
Emerald Societies headquartered in Washington D.C.
Emerald societies across the nation support the
National Law Enforcement Memorial and their local and state memorials. Annually,
emerald societies gather during National Police Week in Washington D.C. to honor their fallen brothers and sisters in law enforcement. Pipers from across the nation gather to play and officers
march to the memorial.
Emerald societies assist with the Candlelight Ceremonies and with the organization of the week’s activities. This is truly an event an officer should attend at least once in
his or her career.
