Donations for the Memorial Expansion
Since the GCPOM was first dedicated in 1993, it’s been necessary to add the names of more officers that have made the ultimate sacrifice. It’s due to these losses and the discovery of more officers that died in the line of duty throughout the history of our region that it has become necessary to expand the Greater Cleveland Peace Officers Memorial. The expansion is made possible through the generous donations made by our citizens. We invite you to join in this effort to honor those who gave their lives in service to our communities.
