"This monument is dedicated to the many brave men and women who have dutifully served this city, in upholding the laws and in so doing, have lost their lives. They made the ultimate sacrifice. They have given their lives, to protect and keep each citizen safe from harm's way. May we never forget the sacrifice that each has made. To their families and loved ones who survive, we offer our prayers and firmly believe that in valor ... there is hope"
As part of the Syracuse University Connective Corridor project a pathway of bricks, to memorialize members of law enforcement agencies of Onondaga County, has been completed next to the Police Monument. At this time new bricks are no longer available for purchase.
