This memorial is located on beautiful tree-lined grounds known as Judiciary Square. Besides the beautiful plants and trees year-round, the 14,000 daffodils that bloom here are a favorite Washington D.C. sight in the spring. Along a tree-lined path on the beautiful grounds, you’ll find the memorial wall with more than 17,500 names of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers who have fallen in the line of duty. The first known death was in 1792, and new names are added every year in a candlelight vigil during National Police Week. Next door to the Law Enforcement Memorial you’ll find the National Law Enforcement Museum where you can learn more about the difficult, often dangerous, duties our law enforcement officers face each day.
