National Police Memorial Day Update
Important information for guests attending National Police Memorial Day on Sunday 27th September 2026, in Belfast. Follow this link to the Update.
Welcome to the Police Digital Memorial
The Police Arboretum Memorial Trust and the Police Remembrance Trust have come together to create a shared space that commemorates and honours those who have dedicated their lives to policing.
This Digital Memorial is a place of commemoration, reflection, and tribute, bringing together important elements of national police remembrance in one accessible place. It preserves the stories of the fallen, celebrates lives of service, and ensures that the legacy of those no longer with us continues to be honoured and recognised, today and for generations to come.
Roll of Honour
The Police Roll of Honour commemorates sacrifice in public service. It is a record of 4,660 police officers who lost their lives ‘on and in the line of duty’, throughout the UK and Ireland (and the Republic of Ireland up until 1922).
