The Houston Police Memorial was built in 1990 by artist Jesus Bautista Moroles. The project cost over $600,000 to design and build.
The memorial is shaped like a Greek cross that consists of five stepped pyramids (otherwise known as a ziggurat design). The central pyramid rises 12.5 feet above ground level, and the four outer pyramids are inverted to sink 12 feet into the ground. Every pyramid base is 40 square feet.
