St Kilda Football Club and Victoria Police are joining forces to host a night of education and insight at RSEA Park, Moorabbin, Beyond the Tape, at 7pm this Wednesday 15 August.

Beyond the Tape will share real insights into the world of policing from a current Inspector and retired Sergeant of the Victoria Police.

Ex-Saint and former Victoria Police Sergeant Rex Hunt will share his unique story of balancing policing while playing VFL football.

Joining Hunt will be Inspector Stuart Bailey, who’ll discuss in detail a police investigation about a real Victorian crime.

All ticket sales will be donated directly to the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation, and light refreshments will be provided.

The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation perpetuates the memory of members of the Victoria Police killed in the line of duty through the support of worthwhile community projects within Victoria.

In total, 159 Victoria Police members have been killed in the line of duty. We can do nothing to bring them back, but as a grateful community, we can honour their memory and ensure their sacrifice is acknowledged.

Each year, St Kilda and Hawthorn contest the Blue Ribbon Cup, which allows the two clubs to pay tribute to those police members who’ve fallen on active service, as well as acknowledge the work and dedication of those who continue to serve.
