Peace Officers Memorial

By Carlene Walker
Utah State Senator, District 8: Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, Midvale

Utah's Law Enforcement Memorial is well on it's way to becoming a reality -- as evidenced by a moving ground breaking ceremony last week. When it's complete, you will find a beautiful and shady setting for contemplation just west of the State Capitol; a fitting tribute to those who have given all for the peace and safety of our state. The names of 125 Utah officers who have been killed in the line of duty will be engraved on the site.

Those who have been involved in the design and fundraising for the Peace Officers' Memorial have made it a priority to create a serene and peaceful place for family, friends and all citizens to pay respect to our fallen law enforcement officers. When you visit, I hope you will share the reverence and gratitude I felt at the groundbreaking. We should be ready for a final dedication on September 6, 2008.
