PORAC company history timeline

1953

The Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) was incorporated in 1953 as a professional federation of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

1970

Senate Rules Resolution Number 137 was adopted on May 20, 1970.

In 1970, California had done little to honor the final sacrifices made each year by its fallen peace officers.

1975

In 1975, Joe Aceto of San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department was elected to the presidency of PORAC. Aceto, along with PORAC Director Walter Colfer, also of San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department, met with Rick and Don Baratta to discuss the issue of a memorial.

1977

14, 1977, the California Peace Officers’ Memorial was dedicated with dignity and care near the governor’s office and the legislative chambers of the State Capitol.

1986

In 1986, Governor George Deukmejian called upon Senator Robert Presley to again sponsor legislation establishing a suitable memorial to peace officers who died in the line of duty.

1987

The day before the dedication ceremony and enrollment of officers who died in the line of duty during 1987, heavy rains threatened to spoil the many months of preparation.

1988

Added costs of several unanticipated changes in the project made the May 1988 deadline even more difficult.

The legislation was also specific about duties and responsibilities of each commissioner and established a sunset clause, December 31, 1988.
