Police Memorial

The Police Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri is a significant public art installation that honors the brave police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The statue, created by artist Rudolph Torrini, stands tall on a pedestal bearing the names of the fallen officers, symbolizing their sacrifice and dedication to protecting the community.

Initiated by a childhood friend of a slain police officer, the campaign to finance and build the memorial took over twenty years to complete, with the support of police officials, businessmen, and civic leaders. Despite initial concerns about its backdrop, the statue now stands proudly in front of the Civil Courts Building in downtown St. Louis, serving as a poignant reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by these officers.
