The Batavia Protector – by Roger Brodin

Location: Front entrance of the Batavia Police Department’s headquarters.

Dedicated: May 18, 1997

The Batavia Protector is a 2/3 life-size bronze sculpture depicting a Batavia Police officer holding the hand of a young boy who, looks up confidently and admiringly at the officer.

It honors all Batavia Police officers, past, present and future, and demonstrates the value the community places on their service.

The memorial was financed through a fund-raising campaign carried out by spouses and co-workers of Batavia Police Officers. The campaign met with enthusiastic response from the community. Residents, businesses, and community groups donated money and services to make the sculpture a reality.
