Public Safety Memorial: A Tribute to Montgomery County's Fallen Officers
Every day, brave men and women dedicate their lives to protecting the people and property of Montgomery County. Unfortunately, each year members of our public safety community are injured and killed in the course of their d
uty. The Montgomery County Public Safety Memorial—the first memorial of its kind in the County—will commemorate the courage and sacrifice of our fallen Public Safety personnel. The Memorial will honor all branches of public safety including: Corrections and Rehabilitation; Police; Fire and Rescue Service; Park Police; and the Sheriff’s Office.
We will never forget and always remember!
--Fire Chief Richard Bowers, Montgomery County
In planning since 1995, the memorial is completed as shown in the following pictures. The memorial is located at the edge of the manmade lake adjacent to the Public Safety Headquarters in Gaithersburg, MD, encouraging a contemplative experience. The date of the official dedication ceremony is TBD.
Nationally recognized artist Ted Clausen was selected in a juried competition to design the memorial. Clausen’s design will be a focal point for the community to affirm its gratitude to all public safety personnel.
