In May, 1997 the organization held its first Memorial Service. It took place at the Tulsa Police Academy inside the gymnasium and a reception followed in the meeting rooms. The organization joined the Tulsa Community Foundation. Their purpose is to help smaller charitable organizations combine their funds to better their investments. The endowment funds are with them. Since its establishment, the organization has worked to locate fallen officers' remains and contact their families, maintaining the physical memorial at the Tulsa Police Department Academy location and conducting annual remembrance activities. The organization accepts tax-deductible donations and sponsorships to support the memorial's construction, maintenance, and endowment.
