In the Line of Duty

Work Begins on Regional Memorial

imageOn May 15, 2007, County Supervisors Greg Cox and Ron Roberts were joined by Chula Vista Police Chief Rich Emerson, Skip Murphy, Jamie Zeppettella, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis and Sheriff Bill Kolender in a groundbreaking ceremony for the San Diego County Regional Law Enforcement Memorial. As part of the planned County Administration Center Waterfront Park, the memorial provides a fitting tribute to San Diego County’s fallen peace officers. Jacob Peterson heads a team of architects from Hargreaves Associates who have created a design featuring a 15-foot long illuminated glass wall engraved with the names of officers killed in the line of duty in the San Diego County region since 1850. The memorial is set to be completed in time for a dedication ceremony on Sept. 11. more information
