Mick Brady APM Former District Officer reflects on Police Remembrance Day and discusses the importance of why we have Police Remembrance Day, why and how the community can be on this day the Police serve.
The sacrifice made by officers who have lost their lives in service to our community is never forgotten.
Each year, vigils, services and marches are held across the land to commemorate National Police Remembrance Day to remember and honour all police officers who have been killed in the line of duty. This year they will be held on Monday 29 September 2025.
We also remember and honour officers whose death did not occur as a consequence of their duty. The tradition of National Police Remembrance Day started in 1989 and has been honoured every year since. In 2020 and 2021, the usual marches did not take place in Brisbane due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Marches returned in 2022 in locations throughout Queensland.
Special Note : Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and the Solomon Islands are countries that hold Police Remembrance Day.
