Today is Police Remembrance Day. The police force and community will pause to pay respects to officers who have fallen in service to the public, on duty, and also to those who have passed away under other circumstances.

There will be a number of services and marches around the state today to commemorate the courage and bravery of the police force.

In addition, the Botanical Gardens at Mt Cootha, and the Story Bridge will light up Blue and White this evening.  

Keep your eye out for Remembrance Day blue and white chequered ribbons to support the Service.
