The community gathered to remember and honour Queensland police officers who have been killed in the line of duty at a National Police Remembrance Day service in Ayr last Friday, September 29.
The service also honoured retired police officers and those across Pacific jurisdictions whose deaths did not occur as a consequence of their duty.
“The Queensland Police Service acknowledges the contribution of all staff members who have died since National Police Remembrance Day in 2022,” said Senior Sergeant Steve Barton.
“In doing so, we remember them and honour their diligent service.”
Member for Burdekin Dale Last MP, a former police officer himself, said every officer bears the scars of the situations that Police sometimes face.
“Police Remembrance Day is the day that all Queenslanders, regardless of where they live, show their appreciation for the brave men and women who work every day to protect our communities,” he said.
“Whilst today we acknowledge every officer, we especially acknowledge those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice either in the course of their duty or as a result of their service to the community.”
