A memorial to the men from all branches of local law enforcement who died defending law and order in the early years: policemen, sheriffs, constables, "special officers,” and even a police commissioner. All were larger-than-life characters who took an oath to "preserve and protect” and therefore deserve to be remembered. It tells the stories of thirteen of those early lawmen, starting with Tarrant County Sheriff John B. York in 1861 and going through Fort Worth Police Officer William "Ad” Campbell in 1909.
