Around 5,000 police officers have died whilst on duty in the past 180 years, yet this sacrifice and exceptional dedication to duty remained largely unrecognised until as late as 2004. National Police Memorial Day serves to give formal recognition to police officers who have given their all to protect others and make their communities safer places to live and work.
This year National Police Memorial Day will take place at St David's Hall in Cardiff on Sunday 24 September. The British Policy Symphony Orchestra will be hosting a special charity concert on Saturday 23 September to support National Police Memorial Day.
