Dozens of people came to see the Great Falls & Cascade County Law Enforcement Memorial as it was unveiled at Overlook Park on Monday morning.
The dedication marks the beginning of National Police Week, a time to recognize all those who wear the badge and all those who have fallen in the line of duty.
Cascade County Sheriff Bob Edwards said, "I find it very fitting that we are here today to dedicate this memorial at the beginning of National Police Week. The names you will see on this memorial are the names of the bravest of the brave that answered the call and put themselves in harm's way in the name of justice and the pursuit of what is right."
There are seven names on the memorial.
Chief Bowen and Sheriff Edwards called out the names of the officers and deputies who have laid down their lives.
City Marshall Commodore Perry Downing, November 1895; Police Officer Luke Curry, November 1898; Police Officer Frank H. Connolly, August 1920; Deputy Herbert E. Locke, December 1928; Lieutenant Segval Sig Semingsen, November 1935; Senior Officer Shane Russell Chadwick, September 1994.
And last, the most recent casualty; Sheriff Edwards said, "Deputy Joseph James Dunn, end of watch August 14th, 2014."
