The Ontario Police Memorial is installed in Toronto's Queen's Park, in Ontario, Canada. The monument was dedicated in 2000.[1]
Designed by Siggy Puchta, the memorial depicts two figures atop the granite plinth, a male police officer in duty dress from the 1950s, and a female police officer in duty dress dating from the 2000s.[1][2] The monument includes a list of names in random order of each police officer from Ontario that died while serving the public.[3] As of 2008, 234 names were added to the wall.[4] Constable John Fisk is the earliest name recorded on the memorial having drowned in Lake Ontario in 1804, after the vessel he was using to transport a prisoner sank during a storm.[4]
