The Idaho Peace Officer's Memorial is located in Meridian, Idaho, on the front lawn of the Idaho State Police Headquarters. This Memorial is dedicated to all Idaho Peace Officer's who died in the line of duty dating back to 1883. After the Memorials completion, it was dedicated on May 15, 1998, and every May there after, a day of remembrance is held at the grounds. Many agencies send representatives and families of the Fallen attend to continue the mantra of "Keep Them Off The Wall."
Come and pay your respects to those that have paid the ultimate price "To Protect & Serve."
IPOM Facts:
The Memorial was dedicated May 15, 1998.
It is designed as a five point badge laid in a red bricked walkway.
The five points of the star are graced with flowering pear trees.
The center of the star is the focal point of the Memorial sitting.
Three sandstone boulders stand proudly within the center of the star.
The center boulder bares the engraving "BLESSED ARE THE PEACE MAKERS"
with a soaring eagle and small waterfall that cascades into a never-ending stream.
The two border stones finish the sitting.
The matching stones are embedded with beautiful black granite.
The granite is engraved with the names of Idaho's fallen officers.
Two rough hewn stone benches sit at the east end of the Memorial facing the stones, giving a place of solace for those who visit.
