Pittsburgh Law Enforcement Memorial

The Pittsburgh Law Enforcement Memorial is a sculpture featuring bronze plaques inscribed with the names of officers who died in the line of duty protecting the city. The structure serves as a permanent tribute to these fallen members of the force.

The memorial was first dedicated in September 1996 near the Kamin Science Center to honor those who died serving the force. It was relocated and rededicated in May 2003 due to construction at Heinz Field.

Families of fallen officers, colleagues, and residents gather here to honor those who served the community. The ceremonies held at this location create moments of remembrance that strengthen the bonds between law enforcement and the city's people.

The memorial is open to visitors year-round and provides space for quiet reflection and remembrance. Plan your visit with respect in mind, as this is a place of honor for those being remembered.

The memorial includes recognition for service dogs who died alongside human officers in the line of duty. This inclusion honors all members of law enforcement, regardless of species, spanning sacrifices from the late 1800s to today.
