By Police1 Staff

SACRAMENTO — The California lottery has teamed up with the California Police Officers Memorial Foundation (CPOMF) to honor fallen officers and their families.

CPOMF helps support families left behind, providing emotional and financial support to wives, children and other relatives after the death of an officer, and any Californian can help out by purchasing a $2 Stars & Stripes Scratcher, according to a press release.

To date the partnership has raised more than $390,000 for CPOMF, which helps maintain the memorial wall and annual ceremony in Sacramento in conjunction with Police Week.
