High Point police to honor the fallen
High Point police will unveil its Memorial Guardian statue on 2 p.m. Aug. 28. It honors those "who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their community," a press release states.
The 6-foot-tall bronze statue of a High Point police officer, built by Neil Brodin Studios of Minnesota, will complete the department’s Fallen Officer Memorial site.
The new statue, which will depict an officer in full uniform, gear and badge, will stand between two monuments that read, “We should not mourn the officers who died ... we should thank God that such people lived.” The statue will stand on top of a monument that says, “Respect-Honor-Remember.”
The department unveiled one piece of the memorial on May 4.
The memorial project cost $70,000. Every penny was donated by the community.
Update: The statue unveiling has been canceled for Aug. 28. Police say it will be rescheduled.
