National Police Memorial

The National Police Memorial and Unity Tour is a place of solemn remembrance, where heroes are honored and their sacrifice never forgotten. The names etched in stone serve as a testament to the bravery of those who have given their all in the line of duty. The Unity Tour, a pilgrimage of officers on bicycle, is a stirring tribute to those who have fallen, as well as a symbol of hope and unity for those who continue to serve. It is a place of quiet reflection, where the weight of history and duty is palpable in the air. A visit to this sacred site is a must for anyone who wishes to pay their respects to those who have given their lives for the greater good.

Everyone should visit this Memorial. The number of police that have lost their lives in the line of duty is staggering. It's rarely mentioned in the news - only if it's sensationalized. Please go and pay your respects.

Mixed feelings about this memorial.

The walls, with the names etched of all the fallen officers, was a great tribute.

However, the pond was full of algae and smelled horrible. I mean really? It was disappointing.

We stopped off at the store/gift shop first and then walked a few blocks to the actual memorial site. It felt peaceful there with the gentle water feature and growing shade trees. There are books filled with the names of fallen officers and you are able to use those to locate where a loved one may be on the walls.

We also noticed a sign that said an actual museum is coming soon! Overall, it's a nice tribute to our nation's fallen law enforcement officers.

Happened to arrive in town on 05/15/10 during the Police week celebration. A great display to support those who go out of their way to protect the streets each and every day.

A beautiful tribute to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

In my opinion the Washington DC police memorial is sub-standard. Shamefully not worthy enough  for 15,000 Americans who lost their lives as public servants. The location is hidden & has a D.C. Metro station right in the middle of what should be considered to be a sacred place, it should have been built on the D.C mall!
