The Peace Officers Memorial honors former students who attended the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center at Glynco, Georgia, and died in the line of duty.

 

A series of vertical slabs of Lac Du Bonnet Minnesota granite with sandblasted, thermal, and polished finishes provide a focal point. These plaques have battered granite bases and are illuminated by quarter-sphere sconces.

 

Square granite pavers for the plaza have a sandblasted finish and are enclosed by low granite walls with thermal finish. Entry to the plaza is along an 8-foot-wide sidewalk of cast stone pavers with granite face aggregate.

 

The memorial and plaza are located adjacent to a stand of pine trees and azaleas next to the campus chapel. Plaza entry planters contain hibiscus hybrid Ruby Glow, while the shrub Harland’s Box forms a border.

A bureau of the Department of Homeland Security, The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center at Glynco, Georgia is the nation’s leading organization for interagency training of law enforcement personnel from all 50 states and U.S. territories. There are presently 62 Federal agencies participating in training at the 3,500 acre campus, with an annual attendance of 25,000 students in programs ranging from 3 weeks to 3 months duration. Based on client input, a priority of issues was assembled to form the basis of the open space master plan. One important objective in the development of the master plan was the establishment of a “walking campus.” The initial study identified the elements which enhanced pedestrian activity within the 75-acre core. The study also pinpointed facility operations, including parking, service vehicle access and maintenance. The study was then expanded to include the entire campus.
