Against the backdrop of one of the company’s full-motion digital billboards along Broadway in Times Square, the companies launched their second annual Police Week salute with a special tribute to fallen officers in a press conference hosted by NLEOMF Chairman and CEO Craig Floyd, who was joined by NYPD Commissioner William J. Bratton, New York City Council Members Mark Treyger and Donovan Richards, and families of the NYPD law enforcement officers who are being honored by the memorial fund this year.
During the press conference, Clear Channel Outdoor Americas (CCOA) displayed individual creative for each of the 273 law enforcement officers whose names are being dedicated on the Memorial walls this year, 117 of whom were killed in the line of duty in 2014. Each officer’s individual profile features the fallen officer’s photo (if available), agency and end of watch date.
“At iHeartMedia & Clear Channel Outdoor Americas, we believe in using the power of all of our assets in the service of giving back, and in assisting the organizations and individuals that help our neighbors and our communities,” said Richard Bressler, President, COO and CFO, iHeartMedia, Inc. “We are honored to be part of National Police Week, and over the coming days we will use our spectrum of multiplatform assets to honor the hundreds of officers who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty.”
National Police Week was established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962 and pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
