Fallen Partner

摘要

On the plaza of the Culture Center at the state capitol in Charleston is Fallen Partner, a memorial to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in West Virginia. Designed by a local sculptor, the 7-foot bronze statue, resting on a nearly 3-foot granite base, was dedicated May 19, 1990.rnConceived and funded in 1986 by the West Virginia Fraternal Order of Police, the statue depicts a policeman wearing a composite uniform without a hat, thus representing all law enforcement agencies in the state.
