In honor of this year’s National Police Week, we have created a slideshow of police memorials around the country that honor our nation’s fallen law enforcement officers. While each memorial is unique to its department and location, they all have one thing in common: to honor officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The slideshow features police memorials from California to the Maine coast.
