Today marks, marks 27 years since the tragic loss of Brevet Sergeant Glen ‘Huey’ Huitson, who was killed in the line of duty in 1999 while stationed in Adelaide River.

We pause today to remember Glen, a devoted husband, loving father, loyal friend, and dedicated police officer.

Twenty-seven years later, Glen’s legacy remains strong, his name and his contribution to policing in the Northern Territory remain firmly held within our Association and the wider police family.

We continue to honour his memory with the deepest respect and enduring gratitude.

Gone but never forgotten. 💙

Today, on National Police Legacy Day, we recognise the invaluable contribution of Police Legacy organisations and the profound difference they make in the lives of police families across Australia.

Police Legacy provides ongoing support to the loved ones of officers who have passed away, ensuring they never face the challenges of loss alone. Through counselling, educational assistance, welfare programs, financial support, and opportunities for connection, these organisations help families rebuild, grow, and thrive while honouring the memory of those they have lost.

National Police Legacy Day is an opportunity to acknowledge the compassion, dedication, and commitment of the many people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to support our policing family.

We extend our sincere thanks to Police Legacy organisations across the country for the care they provide and for standing beside police families when they need it most.

A special thank you to NT Police Legacy Inc for the outstanding support, compassion, and care it provides to police families throughout the Territory. Through its unwavering commitment, NT Police Legacy helps ensure that the families of our fallen colleagues remain connected, supported, and remembered. Your dedication makes a lasting difference, and your work continues to strengthen the policing family across the Northern Territory.

On behalf of the Northern Territory Police Association, we extend our congratulations to Constable First Class Liam Verity, Constable Peter MacGillivray and Constable Jason Wilson on receiving recognition for their exceptional bravery.

In the face of extreme danger, these officers displayed remarkable courage, repeatedly entering a burning residence in an attempt to save a young child.

Constable 1C Verity was awarded the NT Police Force Valour Medal, while Constables MacGillivray and Wilson received a Commissioner’s Group Commendation Citation.

Their actions reflect the highest standards of policing and serve as a powerful reminder of the courage, professionalism and selfless commitment shown by Northern Territory police officers every day.

Congratulations to all.
