Police Remembrance Day strikes a chord
POLICE from across the Whitsunday region came together at Bowen Baptist Church last Friday to honour fallen colleagues for National Police Remembrance Day.
National Police Remembrance Day is the most significant day on the police calendar.
It is an opportunity for officers and members of the public to honour those police officers whose lives were lost while performing their duties.
The day also provides a time to remember the families, partners, friends and colleagues who have sacrificed and lost so much.
Proserpine Police Station officer in charge Sergeant Mark Flynn said the service provided a time to reflect.
"It's an important day on the calendar, not only for Queensland Police Services, but for all police services throughout the nation to remember fallen comrades and staff members who have passed in the past year,” Sergeant Flynn said.
"Our thoughts are with family members of those who have passed.”
