Memorial to the Fallen Police Officers

The sculpture that has been installed since 2002 at the entrance of the General Police Directorate of Attica is the creation of Kalliopi Koutifar, a Greek sculptor and member of the Chamber of Fine Arts of Greece. On a marble stepped pedestal, there is a vertical stele on which is depicted a boldly embossed Ionic column. A piece of cloth is placed on top of the capitals and hangs downwards, along with a police officer’s cap. The emblem of the Hellenic Police is engraved on the triangular top of the column. Below, there is the following inscription: “In memory of the police officers who died in the line of duty”.
