Please witness this historic event – the renovation of the DC Police Memorial fountain and the new Police Memorial Wall with the 125 names of our fallen engraved in the granite. The ceremony will conclude a 13-year endeavor and should last 2 hours.
Survivors and friends are encouraged to attend the event, which includes a Roll Call of fallen officers.
