What is the meaning of the Rose and Shield logo?
Unlike many other memorials, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial does not include a central statue. When you arrive at the very center of the Memorial, on a slightly convex surface, you will find the bronze medallion of a shield and a single rose, surrounded by an ivy wreath (a Christian symbol for resurrection). The rose and shield logo incorporates the strong preference that a badge should be featured as part of the Memorial. The distinctive rose and shield logo is the logo of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, and has come to represent the service and sacrifice of our nation’s law enforcement officers.
