• 2009 Summit for Heroes

  Once again, Cops on Top honored all officers, nation wide, who have been killed in the line of duty during the Cops on Top 2009 Summit for Heroes held on June 27, 2009. On that date, Cops on Top fielded teams across the United States to the highest point of almost all 50 states in remembrance of our fallen comrades. This year, over 250 law enforcement officers, friends and family, volunteers, and police survivors participated in the Summit for Heroes making it our largest event EVER! Cops on Top is an ever growing organization that continues to grow each year! Although we were unable to get every state filled this year, rest assured that EVERY law enforcement officer that has ever paid the ultimate sacrifice by giving their life protecting the communities they served was NOT forgotten! Many teams experienced bad weather, deep snow, hot sun, and hard climbs but were able to reach their summits to remember the life, memory, and sacrifice of their states fallen officers. Cops on Top is extremely proud of each teams accomplishments and looks forward to the Cops on Top 2010 Summit for Heroes!
