Peace Officers Memorial — 1999
The locally-quarried black Academy granite marker
contains
the names of dozens of local law enforcement
officers slain
in the line of duty. Measuring six feet high
by 18-1/2 feet
wide and weighing 12,000 pounds, the
marker is one of the
nation’s largest law enforcement
memorials. Peace officers
and community members
gather at the site each year for a
tribute ceremony to
those who have made the ultimate
sacrifice.
