The Commonwealth Public Safety Memorial is a poignant tribute dedicated to nearly 1,000 heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. For more than 35 years, the Virginia Public Safety Foundation (VPSF) has served public safety individuals and their families, remaining steadfast in its mission to honor and remember Virginia's public safety heroes who have selflessly given their lives in the line of duty. Located at Capitol Square in Richmond, the Memorial reflects the vision of ensuring that the names and actions of Virginia’s fallen public safety heroes are never forgotten.

​

Through its support of the annual ceremony, the Foundation adds names to the Memorial, preserves their legacy, and provides assistance to the families of fallen public service members in their time of need. The VPSF upholds its values of integrity, respect, honor, and care by ensuring each name is carefully vetted, authenticated, and engraved with the utmost precision, preserving the Memorial’s integrity for generations to come. Additionally, the Foundation actively engages in outreach to support the families of our fallen heroes, promoting the Commonwealth Public Safety Memorial as a lasting symbol of their sacrifice and service.
