Police Memorial Park is a city of Las Vegas park dedicated to police officers. It includes the Memorial Wall and two dedicated tree groves to memorialize local police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. Two trees dedicated to the Ten-13 retired New York Police Officers Club, in reflection of the September 11, 2001, tragedy, are also featured within this special park.

The Police Memorial Wall was created by a group of city and Metro employees to honor members of the Southern Nevada law enforcement community who have passed away. Families and friends are invited to purchase bricks in memory of their loves ones which compromise the Memorial Wall.

Police Memorial Wall is a tribute to those who have served unconditionally and have given an incredible gift to Southern Nevada. The 181 people (as of 2013) whose names appear on the wall gave Southern Nevada the ultimate gift anyone can give to another – their lives, day in and day out – so that we might live in peace and safety.

Police Memorial Park is located in northwest Las Vegas at Kylemore Street (Cheyenne Avenue and Metro Academy Way) bordering the northern wall of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Police Academy facility.
