Historical Inductions
The names of these individuals who died in the line of duty have been added to the Ohio Fallen Officers’ Memorial
Wall. They recently were nominated for induction after their departments, through research, discovered that they had
made the ultimate sacrifice for their communities many years ago.
2007–2008 This illustration depicts the placement of flags in the Ohio Peace Officers’
Memorial Flag Display, located on the grounds of the Ohio Peace Officer
Training Academy. It serves as a tribute to the honor, service and eternal
sacrifice of Ohio’s fallen peace officers. Made possible by the Fraternal Order
2006–2007 of Police of Ohio Inc., it was dedicated May 16, 1991. A flag honoring each
of the past year’s fallen officers is placed at the front of the display and later
integrated into the field of flags.

in the north lobby of the Ohio Peace Officer
Training Academy, lists the name, department

of duty since the academy was established

Association of Chiefs of Police Inc. and Ohio Troopers Coalition.
