Description and history
Designed by Siggy Puchta, the memorial features two figures atop a granite plinth: a male police officer in 1950s duty dress and a female police officer in 2000s duty dress.[1][2] The monument includes a list of names, in random order, of every Ontario police officer who died while serving the public.[3] As of 2008, 234 names were added to the wall.[4] The earliest name recorded on the memorial is that of Constable John Fisk, who drowned in Lake Ontario in 1804 when the vessel he was using to transport a prisoner sank during a storm.[4]
