National Police Memorial, Police memorial and sculpture in City of Westminster, United Kingdom.
The National Police Memorial consists of a glass column standing 7.4 meters high within a reflecting pool near government buildings in central London.
The Police Memorial Trust formed in 1984 following Officer Yvonne Fletcher's death, leading to the creation of this national monument inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth II.
The memorial displays a Roll of Honor containing names of 4,000 officers dating from 1680, representing the commitment of police forces across the United Kingdom.
Located in central Westminster, the memorial features wheelchair access and internal illumination that creates a blue glow reminiscent of traditional police station lamps.
The structure incorporates 622 stacked glass sheets weighing 28.6 tonnes, with a black rectangular enclosure surrounding an underground air shaft.
