Alexandria Snapshot: Memorial Table

Members of the Alexandria Police Foundation presented Chief Earl Cook with a table made from a sample piece of the glass from the Alexandria Police Fallen Officers Memorial. Foundation Chairman Willem Polak, Foundation Board members Charlotte Hall and Ann Dorman, Foundation Executive Director Virginia Hill-Obranovich and others gave the hand-crafted table to the department on the one-year anniversary of the dedication of the Fallen Officers Memorial. The three-inch-thick, 100-plus pound glass segment was created by Savoy Glass of Portland, Oregon based on plans from HDR Architects and Whiting Turner Construction, the companies who donated their services to plan and build the Alexandria Police Fallen Officers Memorial. The Memorial was opened March 28, 2015, built by private donations organized through the efforts of the Alexandria Police Foundation, a non-profit formed in 2002. The segment rests on a black walnut table hand-crafted by retired APD crime scene investigator Garry Ground, now a police volunteer.
