The Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary (RPNGC) will mark Police Remembrance Day on Sunday, September 28th, a solemn occasion dedicated to honouring the brave officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Observed across Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific, this day recognizes the sacrifices made by law enforcement to ensure public safety, often under dangerous conditions.
Since its establishment in 1989, Police Remembrance Day has paid tribute to both officers who fell in service and those who passed due to illness or other circumstances.
In PNG, the main event will be held at the National Centre of Excellence, formerly Bomana Police Training College, where fallen officers will be tributed.
This day serves as a stark reminder of the dangers police face daily.
It acknowledges not only their bravery but also the challenges within law enforcement.
In a time of reflection, the RPNGC calls for greater unity, reminding the public of the risks these officers endure while protecting communities.
With services taking place across the region, the observance offers an opportunity to honor their memories while standing with their families in solidarity.
It is a moment for the nation to collectively acknowledge the ultimate price many have paid to maintain peace and order.
As families and fellow officers gather, Police Remembrance Day ensures the legacy of these courageous individuals will never be forgotten.
Their sacrifice is forever woven into the fabric of national service and protection.
