NLEOMFThe National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) on April 15 announced Officer Noah Allatt of the Bridgewater Township, New Jersey, Police Department as their Officer of the Month for March 2025. Officer Allatt was recognized for his actions in rescuing a motorist trapped in a burning vehicle following a collision.
On March 5, Officer Noah Allatt responded to a vehicle crash on State Route 22 in Bridgewater, New Jersey. Upon arrival, he encountered two vehicles that had become engulfed in flames following a rear-end collision. While one of the drivers and a passenger were able to exit their vehicles, the second driver remained unconscious and trapped inside. Officer Allatt quickly reached into the burning vehicle, removed the unconscious driver, and dragged the individual to safety.
“Officer Allatt’s actions reflect the dedication and service that law enforcement officers demonstrate across the country,” NLEOMF CEO William Alexander said. “His willingness to act without hesitation under dangerous conditions represents the highest standard of public service that law enforcement show daily.”
The Officer of the Month Award Program is sponsored by the Police Unity Tour and recognizes federal, state, and local officers who distinguish themselves through exemplary law enforcement service and devotion to duty.

National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
Established in 1984, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the fallen, telling the story of American law enforcement, and making it safer for those who serve. The first pillar of this mission, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., honors the names of all the 24,067 officers who have died in the line of duty to date throughout U.S. history. Additionally, NLEOMF maintains and publishes comprehensive details on the circumstances surrounding official line-of-duty deaths. The Officer Safety and Wellness pillar uses that data, coupled with best-practice program models, to produce programming directed at solutions to improve survivability and enhance wellness. NLEOMF’s third pillar, the National Law Enforcement Museum (LawEnforcementMuseum.org) is committed to preserving the history of American law enforcement and sharing the experiences of service and sacrifice for generations to come.
Since 2014, the National Fallen Law Enforcement Officers Flower Fund has sent a floral arrangement to the funeral services of every officer who has been killed in the line of duty. This initiative, which has served as the cornerstone of the charity, has sent more than 2,000 arrangements on behalf of its members, costing over $500,000.
