National Police Remembrance Day 2009

Each year, the 29th September holds a special significance for Police throughout Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and the Solomon Islands. It is a day for police to pause to honour officers whose lives have been cut short while performing their duty as a police officer. This important day is also a time to remember police officers who have lost their lives through illness or other circumstances.

A NSW ceremony will be held on the 29 September at the Wall of Remembrance, which is located on the Eastern side of the NSW Art Gallery, Art Gallery Road, The Domain, Sydney. The service is open to all to attend, guests are asked to be seated by 09:15am.
