Located directly above entrance to Judiciary Square Metro Station. 23,000+ names already on the memorial.
While visiting Washington DC I saw many places, but the main reason why I was there was to view this monument. Many officers have fallen for those they were protecting and some for reasons to harsh to explain. Law enforcement try their best, some are bad and some are good. Remember no one's perfect in this world.😁
This should be on every LEOs must-visit list at least once in their career. Having visited at the twilight of mine, I regret not paying my respects earlier.
A beautiful memorial for those who have given their lives while serving and protecting their communities.
There are stations around the memorial to obtain paper and pencils to try to get a rubbing of the engraved names. We didn't have any luck, despite multiple attempts and different types of pencils, but other people were able to get some amazing results.

A beautiful memorial and tribute to all of the Law Enforcement killed in the line of duty. I believe it is imperative to see the museum in addition to this memorial especially if you have never worn the badge. Well thought out, peaceful place. Thank you. A large QR placed near the books to make donations would have been a nice addition.
Coming up from the Judiciary subway I was surprise how extensive this memorial has become since my last visit to DC. It is a wall with names of law enforcement personnel killed. There really is no where to sit and reflect, but there are nice tree lined walkways and bronze statues mostly of animals.
I feel that it is pricey for what it is worth. 21.95 for one adult. Youth(6-11) 14.95. Kids 5 and under is free. Plus the place is not very big, so you can do a quick walk through within an hour or less. It is only two levels of display.
