BCPBA Police Memorial
It features a rendering of one of the lion statues from the national memorial, meant to symbolize courage and valor. Also featured in the BCPBA’s memorial is a replica of the “Officer Down†statue that was commissioned by the Florida, Dade, Broward and Palm Beach PBAs and stands in Capitol Plaza, the site of the annual state law enforcement memorial ceremony. The wall bears the names of Broward County law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty, along with the inscription, “It is not how they died, but how they lived.†Work on the mural began in October 2009.
