as well as words of dedication on the pylons. There are no visible artist or foundry marks. The memorial was built just above a pedestrian tunnel, so extra care was taken during the construction to provide for proper weight distribution, stability, and drainage. Historical information Under the direction of the State of Indiana and the Indiana Firefighters Memorial Committee, the planning, design, and construction for the Indiana Law Enforcement and Fire Fighters Memorial commenced in August 2000. The work was completed and unveiled on June 6, 2001, just three days prior to the opening ceremonies of the World Police and Fire Games that were being held in Indianapolis that year. The price for the construction of the memorial was approximately $1 million. In 2002, Glenroy Construction was awarded the BKD Governor's Award for their work on the memorial. This award is granted for exceeding the award criteria and for a structure that provides a positive impact on the community. Artist The design and construction of the Indiana Law Enforcement and Fire Fighters Memorial was a collaborative effort. Indiana based company Glenroy Construction Company; Ken Boyce of Ratio Architects; Patrick Brunner, architect; and Bonnie Sheridan Coghlan, architect, and Indianapolis based Becker Landscape participated in the design and construction of the memorial.
