Overview
To serve and protect are lofty goals, and to complete this mission, the police force must mold itself to the needs and nuances of the community it serves. This sculpture is designed to relate to and reflect the relationship between those who are working in law enforcement and the community they serve and protect. The sculpture starts as a single block of stone that is shaped and then cut into three interlocking pieces. These three pieces fit together as one unit, representing the family of police and community and their direct relationship with each other.
