Which term refers to a public memorial honoring law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty?

• A. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial
• B. Police suicide
• C. Affirmative action
• D. Consent decree

Answer: (A)

A public memorial honoring law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty is the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. This national tribute, located in Washington, D.C., honors fallen officers by inscribing their names on the memorial walls, ensuring their sacrifices are remembered by the public and the policing profession. The term directly refers to a memorial dedicated to officers who died on duty, which is why it fits the question best. The other options describe unrelated concepts: police suicide refers to deaths by suicide among officers, not a memorial; affirmative action is a policy aimed at increasing opportunities for historically underrepresented groups; a consent decree is a court-ordered agreement to implement reforms, often in police departments.
