National Police Remembrance Day was commemorated on the Central Coast on Tuesday, September 29 with a service at Gosford Anglican Church.
Each year, September 29 holds a special significance for police throughout Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and the Solomon Islands.
It is a day for police to pause to honour officers whose lives have been cut short while performing their duty.
This important day is also a time to remember police officers who have lost their lives through illness or other circumstances.
Central Coast police from both Brisbane Water and Tuggerah Lakes Commands attended a joint service at the Gosford Anglican Church to remember Central Coast police officers who have died on duty.
The service was led by Fr Jim Boland and Rev Mark Watt with an address by NSW police commissioner Andrew Scipione read by acting Brisbane Water commander Steve Kentwell.
An honour roll was read and wreaths laid on behalf of NSW Police, the Retired Police Association and members of the public.
