LAPD memorial: Salute with Heartland roots

The names, ranks and dates each LAPD officer who gave his or her life in the line of duty - so far there are 201 - were cut into brass plaques. On Friday, a memorial to fallen Los Angeles police officers built by Kansas City architectural metal company A. Zahner Company was crated, loaded onto a trailer and, in a show of support to fellow officers, escorted by Kansas City Police to the state line. The memorial, weighing roughly 10,500 pounds, was designed by Gensler in Los Angeles and features more than 2,100 brass plaques.
