Culture Now"The stainless steel construction displays the badge numbers and names of police officers killed in the line of duty. One plane of steel forms a canopy overhead, while another slopes into the earth. The canopy casts a rectangular shadow across the broad asphalt steps, reminiscent of the dark bar worn on police badges when an officer is lost.
The badge numbers of fallen officers, which have been pierced into the steel canopy, are cast onto the asphalt when the sun is overhead. In contrast to the upper plane, the lower plane of the monument digs into the earth and pavement fragments cut from Dallas streets. This area displays the names and dates of the fallen officers."
