On 29 September, National Police Remembrance Day, we reflect on the courage, service, and sacrifice of police officers who have lost their lives while protecting the community.

For those of us in ambulance services, the bond with police is deeply understood. Every day on the frontline, paramedics and police work side by side — supporting each other in the face of danger, stress, and the unknown. Both professions share the commitment to keeping our communities safe, and the risks that come with that commitment.

Today, Ambulance Active pays tribute to the police who made the ultimate sacrifice. We extend our respect and solidarity to their families, friends, and colleagues, and we acknowledge the enduring partnership between police and ambulance in service to the community.

National Police Remembrance Day is not only about remembering lives lost, but also about recognising the bravery and dedication of those who continue to serve. Together, we honour their memory.
