This is a bronze original statue of the Archangel Michael coming to the aid of a fallen law enforcement officer. The original statue was the work of Mr. Paul Tadlock and dedicated by the Odessa Police Officers Memorial Foundation to the Odessa Police Department. New York native Mr. Pat Brosnan, owner and CEO of Brosnan Risk Consultants and a former NYPD Detective, was inspired by the statue and commissioned this work in memory of law enforcement members who have lost their lives in the line of duty. He believes it is a fitting and appropriate homage to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and had it designed to be available for display during memorial services for fallen heroes. When Detective Brosnan was asked why he was compelled to commission the statue in honor of the fallen, Brosnan simply replied, “it was the least I could do.”
