The Beaver County Law Enforcement Memorial, located on the courthouse grounds in Beaver, PA, honors the memory of police officers who lost their lives in the performance of their official duties. In a ceremony held May 20, the eighteen Beaver County officers who have lost their lives since 1917 were remembered.
The Master of Ceremonies for the service was XXXXX (XXXXX) and the Police Adjutant was Steven Roberts (XXXXX Police Department and President of FOP Lodge #26). Following the National Anthem and Invocation given by Rev. Steven McKeown (Police Chaplain), Chief Dave Piuri (Monaca Police Department/President FOP Lodge #4) delivered the Law Enforcement Address. Daniel C. Camp III (Chairman Beaver County Board of Commissioners) issued the County Proclamation. After the singing of God Bless America, Rev. McKeown prayed the Memorial Prayer, and Steven Roberts led the Fallen Brothers Salute. The service concluded with Taps, played by XXXX and David Bufalini, and the Benediction by Rev. McKeown.
Dedicated in 2003, the memorial is the result of a collaboration among Beaver Valley Chiefs of Police Association, Beaver Valley Lodge #4 F.O.P., James M. Naim Memorial Lodge #26, the Beaver County Sheriff’s Office, the District Attorney’s Office of Beaver County, and the Beaver County Commissioners. The annual memorial service is held at the site in May on National Peace Officers’ Memorial Day. Over the past 90 years, eighteen law enforcement officers have died in Beaver County in the performance of their official duties. The names of those officers are on the Law Enforcement Monument.
