From the memorial website...
In 1985 members of the Connecticut Police Chief's Association formed a statewide committee to ensure that a permanent memorial would be erected to honor all officers local, state and federal who had lost their lives while serving the citizens of the State of Connecticut.
In 1989 after four years of fund raising efforts, the first pieces of granite began to arrive at the Connecticut Police Academy in Meriden. After several months of construction and years of raising the necessary funds the Memorial was dedicated in October 1989.
The Connecticut Law Enforcement Memorial is a fitting tribute and a constant reminder of the ultimate sacrifice that law enforcement officers make on behalf of everyone.
During the month of May of each year, a very special memorial service, attended by several hundred people and many law enforcement agencies is held at the site during Police Week. The Police Memorial is open to the public 365 days a year. Members of the public are welcomed and encouraged to come to the Connecticut Police Academy to pay tribute to the men and women of Connecticut Law Enforcement who have made the ultimate sacrifice and to reinforce the commitment that we will "Never Forget".
