The three standing figures on the memorial represent a county sheriff, a state traffic officer, and a municipal police officer. To give real meaning to the piece, there is a life-sized bronze sculpture of a woman on a bench comforting a child, seated facing the monument. A folded American flag, which is conveyed to surviving family members of fallen officers, sits next to them on the bench.

In front of the woman and child, a kneeling female officer presents a folded flag.
