Victorians are encouraged to remember Victoria Police officers who have been killed in the line of duty this Monday 29th September, Blue Ribbon Day.
157 officers have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting Victoria and Blue Ribbon Day is an opportunity to show serving police officers that their work is valued the community.
You can purchase a badge of remembrance or a flashing wrist band from police stations, 7-Eleven stores, the Bank of Melbourne and BankVic branches, E & S Trading, selected RSL clubs and other outlets to wear on Blue Ribbon Day as a sign of respect.
