Austin - Texas State Capitol: Texas Peace Officers Memorial

            The Texas Peace Officers Memorial was erected on the grounds of the Texas State Capitol in 1999 by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement in cooperation with the State Preservation Board. The memorial was authorized by the 71st Legislature in 1989 to honor law enforcement officers and corrections personnel whose lives have been lost in the line of duty since August 5, 1823, the date when Stephen F. Austin commissioned the first Texas Peace Officers, the first ten Texas Rangers.

The Texas Capitol, built in 1888, and the approximately 22 acres of surrounding landscaped grounds are sited on one of Austin's highest points, between the downtown commercial district and the University of Texas at Austin campus.  A 1995-96 renovation of the historic Grounds returned the park-like setting to its 1888-1915 appearance.
