The memorial, located in Sacramento, was dedicated in 1988 to honor California peace officers who have died in the line of duty.
The memorial features bronze sculptures of three peace officers, symbolizing the past, present, and future of law enforcement.

The memorial is located within the 40-acre Capitol Park, which surrounds the California State Capitol building.
Each May, a solemn ceremony is held to honor and remember the officers whose names are added to the memorial.
The memorial was designed by renowned sculptor R. T. “Skip” Whitcomb, who is known for his public art installations.
