Fallen trooper memorial dedicated
The families of fallen
Oregon State Police (OSP)
Troopers were joined Sat-
urday evening, October 1,
2016, in remembrance of
the men and woman who
made the ultimate sacrifi ce
in the line of duty at the
formal dedication of the
Fallen Trooper Memo-
rial near the State Capitol
in Salem. The ceremony
culminated six years of
planning, fundraising, and
construction of Oregon’s
only memorial that is
solely dedicated to honor
and remember fallen OSP
Troopers.
The Oregon State Police
Fallen Trooper Memorial
recognizes thirty-three
Troopers who died in the
line of duty. Their names
were engraved on indi-
vidual plaques and placed
on the memorial that was
recently erected in front of
the Public Service Build-
ing across from the State
Capitol in Salem. Each of
these deaths had a pro-
found impact on families,
the Department of State
Police, public safety
partners, and citizens of
Oregon.
“The Oregon State
Police Fallen Trooper
Memorial stands as a
lasting tribute to the 33
troopers who made the
ultimate sacrifi ce seeing in
the line of duty,” Governor
Kate Brown said. “Or-
egon is made better and
our communities are safer
thanks to the dedicated and
selfl ess service of our OSP
troopers and law enforce-
ment offi cers throughout
the state” said Oregon
Governor Kate Brown,
one of several participants
during the dedication
ceremony.
Six years ago, former
Oregon State Police Su-
perintendent Tim McLain
helped put together the
Fallen Trooper Memorial
committee to realize a vi-
sion of honoring Oregon’s
fallen Troopers.
With the gracious assis-
tance and commitment of
several individuals, busi-
nesses and organizations,
Oregon’s Fallen Trooper
Memorial was designed,
constructed, and built in
northwest Portland. Ap-
proximately $300,000 was
raised through the Fallen
Trooper Memorial Foun-
dation, a non-profi t 501 (c)
(3) organization formed to
help make the memorial a
reality.
Governor Brown joined
State Senator Betsy
Johnson and OSP Superin-
tendent Travis Hampton in
welcoming the families of
fallen Troopers, govern-
ment offi cials, Department
members past and present,
public safety partners, and
citizens.

dedication were Bill and
Barb Lyons. Their son,
Scott Lyons, died in the
line of duty in September
2, 1997, in a traffi c crash
with Sergeant James Rec-
tor. “Each name represents
a Trooper and their family
who was dedicated to the
Oregon State Police, who
was loyal and steadfast in
their service to the State
of Oregon.,” said Retired
OSP Senior Trooper and
Family Member Bill
Lyons.
The Oregon State Police
Fallen Trooper Memorial
was designed by Gene
Bolante, Studio 3 Archi-
tecture in Salem. Portland-
area sculptor, Jason Jones
(Jones Sculpture Studio)
worked about fi ve years
to make the memorial out
of basalt blocks harvested
from a Madras-area quarry.
Signifi cant contributions
were also provided by
White Oak Construc-
tion, Oregon State Parks,
Oregon Department of Ad-
ministrative Services, and
many others whose help is
greatly appreciated.
Others participating dur-
ing the dedication included
the Oregon SenateAires,
a Salem-area barbershop
chorus, and Portland
Police Bureau Highland
Guard.
The Fallen Trooper
Memorial Foundation will
continue to raise funds to
help offset memorial main-
tenance costs and provide
ongoing education to OSP
troopers aimed at prevent-
ing and reducing line of
duty deaths.

photographs, and ways you

Trooper Memorial are

Memorial website at www.
