Inscription. Since 1822, the Deputies of the Marion County Sheriff's Office have provided the highest measure of public safety to the people of this great County. The tradition continues today only because these outstanding men and women in uniform were willing to lay down their lives in defense of, and in service to, our citizens.

On September 11, 2010, this Fallen Deputy Memorial was dedicated to honor those Deputies who lost their lives while serving this most honorable profession. This bronze depiction of a Deputy Sheriff saluting the American flag stands as a silent but stirring tribute to our brave Deputies who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
