This monument, dedicated in 1980, is named for Officer Christos G. Rouses, who was killed in the line of duty by an armed robber while responding to a silent alarm at a local pharmacy.
The memorial, located at JFK Plaza, directly in front of Lowell Police Department Headquarters, depicts an officer with his hand on the shoulder of a young child and features the names of Officer Rouses and other fallen Lowell officers.
The memorial is placed in the center of a fountain. We offer our profound gratitude and respect to those officers who paid life's highest price to fulfill the motto "To Serve and Protect."
