Butler County Law Enforcement Memorial
Dedicated to remembering those who served and sacrificed, the Butler County Law Enforcement Memorial provides a place for our community to honor fallen heroes. Our mission is to preserve their stories and ensure their service is never forgotten.
Our Purpose
The purpose of the Butler County Law Enforcement Memorial is to educate, honor and remember those law enforcement officers who gave their lives to protect and serve their community. A committee of Butler County law enforcement officers representing all Butler County agencies, along with Gravity Works Architecture, is honored to be taking on the mission to support this necessary cause. The Memorial will be built in front of the Butler County Sheriff’s Office, next to the Butler County Historic Courthouse. This placement allows for people to visit and remember the officers and their sacrifices.
