Police Memorial

With Honour They Served

This site is dedicated to the memory of our fallen comrades. Each of the members listed has died while on duty and these records date back to 1859.

The Queensland Police Service Memorial is located in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens.

The National Police Memorial located in Canberra pays tribute to Australian Police Officers who have been killed on duty or have died as a result of their duties.

Both memorials recognise the unique nature of police service and the dangers that police face in their daily pursuits serving their communities.
