Tasmanian police officers will remember colleagues who have lost their lives while serving and protecting their communities on Monday 29 September 2014, at a commemorative service as part of National Police Remembrance Day.

Remembrance Day is a sobering reminder of how the ordinary can turn into the extraordinary, and the potential dangers that officers sometimes face while trying to protect their communities.

Officers will remember colleagues who have died while on duty as well as our colleagues who have died from illness while a member of Tasmania Police.

Remembrance Day is also a time to reflect on the hard work and dedication of all officers and the contribution they make to the community. The job of a police officer is one that brings great satisfaction, but also brings a number of challenges.
