Re: Monument: In Tribute to Columbus Police Officers

[edit]

@GeorgeofOrange: Do you happen to know if this monument is still installed in Battelle Riverfront Park? I can't remember if I saw this one, or if I'm thinking of Arvin J. Alexander Memorial. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:27, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another source: https://www.columbusmakesart.com/place/7642-columbus-police-officers-memorial. This website is pretty good about noting which artworks have been removed, so I'm thinking this remains in place. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:30, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Another Believer:I don't know off hand but will look. I suspect it got moved when Columbus Police Memorial was built, but have not yet found any proof. GeorgeofOrange (talk) 00:57, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@GeorgeofOrange: Thank you. Any leads or confirmation would be helpful. No rush, just at your earliest convenience! ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:14, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@: Pinging to see if you might be able to help here. Can you take a quick look at the above discussion? ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:18, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recall seeing it anywhere. I would remember it on the riverfront, and I don't see it in any of my photos of the Police/Fire park... Will ask around a little. ɱ (talk) 17:21, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
, Perfect, thanks for even confirming you don't recall seeing this in the park recently. I recall the same, but wanted to double check since the monument could easily be confused with the Arvin J. Alexander Memorial to someone who (like me) has only strolled through the park once in passing. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:25, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well I just clicked on one of your links above, by the Greater Columbus Arts Council. They're pretty good, up-to-date, so I'm pretty sure it's at the Columbus Police Academy. Google Street View's most recent view there does actually show it! ɱ (talk) 17:50, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

, Ah, great!, thanks for confirming. Sorry, I should have paid more attention to the Columbus Makes Art reference for more info... just earlier I replaced a dead URL and I was more concerned about simply sharing a working link than reviewing the contents of the page. Thanks for your help here! ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:52, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
