The Police Memorial in St. Louis, MO stands as a tribute to the city's fallen police officers. Initiated by a childhood friend of a slain officer, the campaign to fund the twelve-foot statue atop a pedestal inscribed with the officers' names took over twenty years to realize. Despite initial concerns about its background, the memorial now proudly graces the area in front of the Civil Courts Building in downtown St. Louis.
Designed by Rudolph Torrini, the bronze and granite memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Saint Louis police officers. The inscription on the front honors those who lost their lives in the line of duty, while the back implores that "the well-being of the people be the supreme law." Torrini, a distinguished artist and educator, imbued the statue with a sense of reverence and respect for the city's law enforcement community.
