The 911 Memorial is integrated into the flag pole structure and features an 843 pound sheet metal from the fallen World Trade Center in New York City, which was destroyed on September 11, 2001. The artifact was retrieved in 2011 by Police Chief Bill Dickinson, Sergeant Darrell Nelson, and Officer Randy Kellas and was stored by the Police Department for four years in anticipation of incorporation into the new facility.
