Help us to get a permenant memorial monument for Fallen Police Officer Peter A Larsen
Officer Peter A Larsen was a City of Beloit Police Officer who was shot in the line of duty on January 4, 1985, while responding to a kidnapping call. Pete received two gunshot wounds to his head and was left comatose for 14 years until his death November 15, 1998. Officer Peter A Larsen is the only City of Beloit Police Officer to be killed in the line of duty in the 159 year history of the City of Beloit. We are trying to get the City of Beloit & the City Council to pass a resolution to erect a permanent memorial to honor Officer Larsen for his duty, dedication and sacrifice outside of City Hall. This memorial would be designed by Officer Larsen's widow Pamela and provided to the City at no cost, paid for by those of us that would make donations to make the purchase. You DO NOT need to donate to sign this petition and any donations made though this site would not go towards the purchase of the monument.

The City Council thinks they can ignore the legacy of Officer Larsen while they sit in the comfort of City Hall. We are knocking on the door of 250 signatures and we need to force them to pay attention right now. Keep this pressure high so they have no choice but to acknowledge the sacrifice he made for this city.

I worked with Pete. He was a warrior and loved the Beloit Community. This tribute is the right thing to do for Pete and his wife Pam. Pete was committed to the Beloit PD and the Citizens of Beloit. He was a man of honor and character.
I absolutely love the idea of memorizing fallen police officers in a time when so much is being done and said in the media to demoralize and discredit the very men and women we put all of our trust in! Peter A. Larsen put his life before the health and safety of another and for that, we should should be grateful for! Peter was a great man!
Pete was my brother in law and one of the finest police officers that Beloit ever had. He suffered a long time before his death as did his wife and he deserves do have his memory preserved in our town forever. We need to send a message of love and caring to all who serve (past ,present, and furture). Thank You
We proudly display our number 23 on our vehicles in Illinois. This permanent memorial is the least we can do to honor officer Larson and his service. We will be glad to donate for this memorial. This isn't an option it is a necessity so future generations can see and hear of his great service.
This will show our support for all law enforcement. Our officers will walk past this everyday and know that we are all behind them!
Let all work together to improve Law Enforcement and honor their sacrifices helping Americans
i remember Pete Larson and the awful way he was injured and years later passed away. He gave his life to protect others. I think it would be a wonderful deserving tribute to this man to create a memorial in his honor !

My wife Rosemary, Pete's sister and I always felt that Pete was a very dedicated law enforcement officer, very committed to the safety of Beloit's residents. A good friend, husband and courageous citizen. It is only befitting that a monument should be erected in his memory.
