Completed in 2018, our Law Enforcement Memorial Plaza honors fallen Clackamas County law enforcement officers and deputies. It features bronze castings of two Honor Guards and a police K9 at attention guarding a fallen officer, designed and manufactured by artist Rip Caswell. A concrete cast image of Mt. Hood provides a dramatic backdrop.
A decade in the planning, the project cost $350,000, including donated professional services.
