Commemorated by all Australian and South West Pacific police jurisdictions,
National Police Remembrance Day ~ 29th September ~
is a day of reflection on the ultimate sacrifice made by police officers in the course of their duties. The National Police Memorial honours and remembers those police officers from all Australian and South West Pacific police jurisdictions who gave their lives in the line of duty.
On 29 September each year we honour the lives and service of fallen police officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice while on duty or as a result of their duties. National Police Remembrance Day (NPRD) is a solemn occasion to pay tribute to the courage, commitment, and dedication of police officers who protect our community.
This year, commemorative services will be held on Friday 27 September including the National Police Remembrance Day National Service which begins with a march from AFP Headquarters in Barton to the National Police Memorial.
The 2024 National Service for National Police Remembrance Day will be held on Friday 27th September at the National Police Memorial, Canberra, 2024.
