The Los Angeles Police Protective League’s traveling “End of Watch” Memorial Wall is a memorial that pays tribute to the 207 LAPD officers who were killed in the line of duty.
The “End of Watch” Memorial Wall depicts all six series LAPD badges in chronological order, with the current LAPD badge in the center and the Eagle & Badge Foundation insignia on the far right. Surrounding the six badges will be the 207 names of the LAPD officers who have fallen in the line of duty.
Throughout the weekend the community will have the opportunity to meet and interact with various LAPD specialized units. Department personnel will also provide visiting community members water and juice to stay hydrated.
