Take a virtual tour.

If you haven’t had a chance to visit the Memorial Plaza, or perhaps you live far away, we invite you to take a look at this special location through a virtual tour.

The establishment of the Mount Holly Police Department Memorial Plaza provides visible support and encouragement that our police officers need and deserve.

The Mount Holly Police Foundation is honored to have been part of the design, fundraising, and dedication of this plaza.

Not only does the Memorial Plaza serve as a fitting location to honor Tyler Herndon, the fallen MHPD officer who lost his life in the line of duty in December 2020, but it also celebrates the vital role law enforcement professionals play in our community and the sacrifices they make to keep us safe.

Features of the Plaza

  • Engraved Bricks

    The bricks offer a way to allow community members to share in the story and become a lasting part of this important community location.

  • Eternal Flame

    The eternal flame represents the service of those that came before us, of those that are currently serving, and those who will choose to make the commitment to serve future generations. It insures that we always remember this service, and that we will never forget the ultimate sacrifice paid on behalf of our community.

  • Bronze Statues

    Unveiled in December 2021, these statues help to illustrate the connection we share with our community as well as our gratitude to those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice.

  • Blue Lights

    This acknowledges the support our community displayed to honor the ultimate sacrifice paid by fallen MHPD Officer Tyler Herndon. After his death, the entire community proudly burned blue lights in his honor.

  • Location of Officer Herndon's Vehicle

    This location was the focal point of an organic memorial that quickly became an important gathering place for reflection, support, and healing in the community after Officer Herndon’s passing.
