About the Business
Welcome to the Police Memorial Park, a poignant tribute located at 10 North Tucker Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri. This serene park is dedicated to honoring the brave St. Louis police officers who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. The centerpiece of the park is a magnificent twelve-foot bronze statue, standing proudly on a granite pedestal that bears the names of the fallen heroes. This heartfelt memorial was the result of a tireless campaign spanning over two decades, initiated by a childhood friend of a slain officer.
The creation of the Police Memorial was a community effort, brought to life through the dedication and support of police officials, local businessmen, and civic leaders. Despite initial concerns by the Regional Arts Commission regarding the backdrop of the thirteen-story Civil Courts Building, the statue has become a powerful symbol of remembrance and respect in downtown St. Louis.
The front of the memorial is inscribed with a touching dedication: “In memory of the Saint Louis police officers who have given their lives in the performance of their duty.” On the back, it reads, “Let the well-being of the people be the supreme law,” reflecting the noble mission of those it commemorates.
Completed in 1988, the statue was sculpted by renowned artist Angelo Torrini. Torrini, who studied sculpture at Washington University in St. Louis and earned his MFA from the University of Notre Dame, has a distinguished career in the arts, including a Fulbright Fellowship in Italy and a tenure as Chairman of the Art Department at Fontbonne College.
Owned by the City of St. Louis and funded by generous public and private donors, the Police Memorial Park is a place for quiet reflection, gratitude, and remembrance. We invite you to visit and pay tribute to the courage and sacrifice of our local heroes.
