Houston Police Officer Memorial, Police memorial in Buffalo Bayou Park, US
The memorial features a large granite structure shaped as a Greek cross with a central stepped pyramid and four sunken pyramids in each arm.
Constructed in 1991, this memorial resulted from fundraising efforts by multiple foundations including Knox, Cullen, and Brown to honor fallen police officers.
The memorial displays over one hundred names of Houston police officers who died while performing their duties, inscribed on pink granite slabs.
Located at 18-3600 Allen Parkway, the memorial includes an accessible reflecting pool near the parking area for visitors with mobility limitations.
Texas artist Jesus Bautista Moroles designed the 120-foot-wide structure with a central pyramid reaching 12.5 feet in height above ground level.
