The End Of Watch Memorial Wall - LAPPL at Venice Beach, July 5, 2015.

The End Of Watch Memorial Wall is a traveling memorial dedicated to the fallen Officers of the Los Angeles Police Department, commissioned by the Los Angeles Police Protective League along with the Eagle & Badge Foundation.

The Memorial Wall is 58 feet wide, 9 feet tall, made of 15,000 pounds of steel, stainless steel and polymer glass. More than 10,000 LEDS create the beautiful blue lighting effects. The Wall comes together or apart in 5 sections for moving purposes.

There are 207 End of Watch LAPD Officers on the Wall surrounded by all 6 Series LAPD historical badges and the 1 LAPPL Insignia. The main center LAPD Badge is over 4 feet tall and weighs in at over 100 pounds of multi-layered stainless steel. It very well may be the largest stainless steel badge in the world.
