The Utah Law Enforcement Memorial, located on the west lawn of the Utah State Capitol, honors the 147 Utah Peace Officers who were killed in the line of duty. The annual memorial allows Utahns to honor and reflect on those police officers, sheriff's deputies, and state troopers who have fallen in the line of duty since our state’s founding. The memorial features plaques that pay tribute to law enforcement officers that have lost their lives, dating back to 1853.
