Today is National Police Remembrance Day, when the nation will remember and honour those officers who have died in the line of duty, or as a result of their duties.

2026 marks 20 years since the Memorial Wall at the National Police Memorial was dedicated. The Memorial Wall is steeped in meaning and embedded with stories of courage and sacrifice.

832 touchstones are engraved in the Memorial Wall – each one symbolising the loss of a police officer. At this evening’s Memorial service, four more touchstones will be added, with acknowledgement also of NSW Police Force Constable Mia Lay who is expected to be formally added next year.

For those who can't attend the official service at the National Police Memorial in Canberra, the event will be livestreamed from 5pm.

The 2026 Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance was a powerful tribute to those police officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities. AFP Legacy was honoured to have Legatee Rachel Cobb represent our families during the Baton Ceremony, a moving and significant part of the commemorations.

Rachel was accompanied by Chief Police Officer Scott Lee, together they proudly represented the enduring connection between the policing family and the loved ones left behind.

🤝 Coming together to support police families 🇦🇺

Last month representatives from Police Legacy organisations across every Australian state and territory came together in Canberra for the National Police Legacy Conference 2026.

The conference was an opportunity to connect, share ideas, and learn from one another with one shared purpose: strengthening the support we provide to policing families across Australia.

From financial assistance and counselling to wellbeing initiatives, educational scholarships and community programs, delegates explored new opportunities to ensure Legatees and their families can access the support they need, when they need it.

The conference was also an opportunity to reflect on the history of service and sacrifice at the heart of Police Legacy.

Delegates visited the National Police Memorial and the Australian War Memorial’s new Peacekeeping Gallery, honouring those who have served and remembering the families who stand behind them.

Australian War Memorial Director Matt Anderson also addressed delegates, sharing insights into the important role Australian police play in international peacekeeping.

These experiences provided a powerful reminder of why Police Legacy exists.

By coming together and sharing knowledge, we look to explore how we can continue working with our Police Legacy partners to support policing families across Australia! 🇦🇺

Creating Memories in Far North Queensland 🌴🐊🐢

From 9 to 14 July, Legatees from AFP Legacy, NSW Police Legacy and SA Legacy came together in Cairns for an unforgettable week of adventure, friendship, confidence and personal growth. ❤️

The annual camp gave Legatees the chance to make new friends, strengthen connections, step outside their comfort zones and create memories to last a lifetime.

The week began with icebreakers, helping campers get to know one another and build new friendships.

Legatees hopped onboard the famous Kuranda Scenic Railway, travelling through lush rainforest, past spectacular waterfalls and breathtaking mountain scenery. The adventure continued on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, gliding above the rainforest canopy and taking in stunning views across the World Heritage-listed landscape.

The camp also featured plenty of fun and friendly competition, with a day of putt putt golf and go-karting. The activities encouraged teamwork, resilience and plenty of laughter.

A visit to Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures was another crowd favourite. The Legatees experienced a snake show, crocodile feeding and reptile displays, gaining a greater appreciation for Australia’s unique wildlife. For many, seeing crocodiles and reptiles up close was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Evenings provided time to relax and unwind, including a movie night.

The camp’s signature experience was a full-day cruise from Port Douglas to the Great Barrier Reef. Legatees snorkelled among vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life, experiencing one of the world’s great natural wonders. A particular highlight was the abundance of turtles. 🐢

More than just an adventure, the camp was about friendship, resilience, confidence and belonging — creating a supportive environment where Legatees could experience new things and make lifelong memories.

A huge thank you to all the contributors, supporters and donors of AFP Legacy who make experiences like this possible.

AFP Legacy relies on your generous donations to continue supporting Legatees and creating opportunities like these. ❤️
