Governor Rick Snyder and members of law enforcement broke ground on a memorial Thursday.

It’s a tribute to law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty.

It’s a project more than a decade in the making: a structure composed of large metal panels engraved with the names of fallen police officers. A commission to build the monument has had trouble fundraising the effort for years.
