California Peace Officer's Memorial Ceremony

The California Peace Officer's Memorial was built by Vic Riesau, who retired in 1977 after a career with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. His bronze figures depict a county sheriff of the 1880s, a state trooper of the 1930s, and a city patrolman of the 1980s. To build the large tribute, more than $200,000 was raised in private donations, primarily from the law enforcement community and peace officer's associations.
