Groundbreaking Set For ECSO’s New Law Enforcement Memorial Plaza
January 14, 2025
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Escambia County Sheriff Foundation, will hold a groundbreaking Thursday for a Law Enforcement Memorial Plaza. This project will honor deputies who made the ultimate sacrifice and serve as a place of remembrance, healing, and connection for the community.
The memorial plaza will become a focal point in front of the main Sheriff’s Office on Leonard Street, reinforcing its symbolic importance. The ECSO said the newly designed space will offer a place where memories are shared, where grief is met with support, and where citizens can all come together–united in appreciation for those who sacrificed their lives for our safety.
The partnership with the Sheriff Foundation will provide the funding and no tax dollars will be used in the construction. The Escambia County Sheriff Foundation is soliciting donations of any size, with recognition opportunities available at various levels. “The Foundation Board is deeply honored to support the creation of this Memorial Plaza,” said Foundation President Whitney C. Lucas. “This project embodies our commitment to honoring the brave heroes of the Sheriff’s Office. We believe this plaza will be a welcoming space of remembrance that invites citizens to connect with their Sheriff’s Office while focusing on the shared values that keep our community strong.”
The groundbreaking will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday in front of the ECSO at 1700 West Leonard Street. Refreshments will follow inside the ECSO building.

Hopefully they won’t let the urban campers set up there like they do across the street.
Outstanding. We have to pay tribute to the great and women, who put their life’s for all of us daily . LEOS , firemen, servicemen and many others deserve our gratitude, respect . A measure of a society is in how we honor and respect those who protect us.
