Donations are still being accepted for a permanent memorial in the proposed Law Enforcement Memorial Park, dedicated in May 2015 at the Steuben County Public Safety Building in Bath.

Donors will be able to purchase personalized pavers to be placed around a raised pedestal formed by the shape of Allegany, Chemung, Livingston, Ontario, Schuyler, Steuben and Yates counties. The pedestal will eventually support a life-size statue of a law officer answering the call to duty.
Other plans include a “thin, blue line” waterfall, tentatively scheduled to be in place this spring.
The memorial park honors all police and peace officers within the seven-county region who have died in the line of duty.
“We are dedicated to remembering those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and creating a place of reflection for their surviving family and friends,” county Sheriff Jim Allard said.
For the past three years, the Steuben Sheriff’s Office has held a memorial service for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice as they strove to serve and protect others.
