The Los Angeles Police Department Memorial to Fallen Officers is a monument at located on an elevated plaza at the LAPD headquarters on 100 West 1st Street in downtown Los Angeles. The memorial was funded by the Los Angeles Police Foundation, who raised the $750,000 through private donations.〔Zavis, Alexandra ("LAPD memorial for fallen officers finds its way home" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', September 23, 2009, accessed December 1, 2010.〕 The original tribute to fallen officers that was located at Parker Center was destroyed in the process of transport when moved to make room for a new jail. ==Design==
The memorial wall is designed by a team led by Robert Jernigan and David Herjeczki of Gensler, whose time was donated for the project.〔Wolke, Leslie ("Badge of Honor" ), ''segdDESIGN', September 2010, accessed December 1, 2010.〕 The wall is made up of more than two-thousand brass alloy plaques, two-hundred-two of which are inscribed with the names of fallen police officers. From a distance the memorial appears as a solid wall of lit brass. As visitors approach, it becomes evident that the wall is in fact a vast assemblage of discrete, engraved brass plates, seemingly suspended in air and light. This form dynamically honors the LAPD both as a collective whose duty is to protect the public, and as individuals whose role is to serve the public. The brass alloy is a reference to police officers' badges. 〔("LAPD memorial to fallen officers project detail" ), ''website'', 2012, accessed March 24, 2012.〕
