Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Project

The Spokane Regional Law Enforcement Museum proudly partners with the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Project to honor and remember our fallen officers in Washington State. The memorial is located at the end of the cul-de-sac at 1000 W. Mallon Avenue, Spokane, Washington. A monument dedicated to law enforcement K-9’s is part of the memorial. Each year during National Law Enforcement Week, the names of those officers who have died during the previous year in Washington State are added to the monument. As of 2024, the names of 360 officers and 27 K-9’s are engraved on the memorial. Here are videos of the 11th annual Candlelight Ceremony on May 6, and the 36th Annual Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Ceremony on May 7, 2024.
