Remembering fallen officers
10 August 2020
The National Police Memorial Day service will be held online this year to ensure that fallen officers and their families can still be honoured and remembered.
The service will be held on Sunday 27 September at 3pm.
The website streaming the service will also be hosting a tribute wall where you can share your memories and photos or leave condolence messages.
“The memorial day service is one of the key events in the policing year and gives us all the opportunity to come together with the families of fallen officers to remember their loved ones and show them that their sacrifice has not been forgotten,” says Jon Nott, chair of West Midlands Police Federation.
“While it is understandable that this year’s service which was due to be held in Lincoln has been cancelled, I am pleased that this online service has been organised in its place. The tribute wall will also give everyone a chance to post their own messages about officers who have died in the line of duty.”
To access the service, you will be asked to provide your name and email address.
National Police Memorial Day was first held in 2004 and has been held at the end of September each year since. It rotates around England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Federation representatives, chief officers and the Home Secretary usually join the families of fallen officers at the service and the Prince of Wales, patron of the National Police Memorial Day charity, often attends.
