An annual day of remembrance will be one of the most emotional and powerful yet as we get ready to show our endless gratitude and respect to police this Blue Ribbon Day.
The feelings following the tragic deaths of Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim de-Waart-Hottart are still very raw within our community and across the state.
A month on from the horrific incident, we reflect on not only the policemen’s commitment to keeping us safe, but their commitment to our community which will never be forgotten.
Their sacrifice will be on the front of our minds as we remember their service, but it’s also a chance to show our gratitude to those who continue to bravely serve.
It’s so easy to take what our local police do for granted, they are a very visible and consistent presence within the community working tirelessly to keep us safe.
