Scope and Content

In May 2003, Dallas police officer Rick Stone's contributions to the history of the Dallas Police Department were chosen to be included in a series of bronze plaques created by New York artist Greg Lefevre that were installed at the entrance to the newly constructed Jack Evans Police Headquarters Building. The images document the installation of the plaques. 

Sculptor/photographer Gregg LeFevre has created over 120 site-specific public artworks in cast metal and has had his works commissioned by New York, Miami, Chicago, Boston, Las Vegas, Seattle, Los Angeles, and many other American cities.

The Dallas Police Department was created in 1872.  As of 201​6, it employed 3640 sworn officers and 556 civilians.  The department is charged with preserving the peace, enforcing city laws, protecting lives and property, preventing and detecting crime, and arresting lawbreakers.
