In Tribute
Since statehood, the people of California have sought and cherished a quality of life unsurpassed in this great nation. There have been among us those who chose to serve as peace officers and when called upon unselfishly gave more than we have the right to ask. A passionate desire among their brother and sister peace officers and concerned Californians to commemorate those fallen heros is evidenced here. This moving memorial is a tribute to the dedicated men and women of the California Law Enforcement family who have given their lives to assure a peaceful and orderly society for their fellow citizens. Those brave and gallant protectors who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty are symbolically represented here by the County Sheriff of the 1880's, the State motorcycle officer of the 1930's and the municipal police officer of the 1980's.
