National Police Memorial Australia, Police memorial in Kings Park, Canberra, Australia.
The National Police Memorial features bronze panels with touchstone plaques displaying names, ranks, and dates of officers who died during service.
The memorial project, initiated in the late 1980s by Police Associations, received final approval from the Prime Minister's Office on September 28, 2001.
National Police Remembrance Day ceremonies occur annually on September 29, with motorcycle riders participating in the Wall to Wall Ride event.
Visitors can find the memorial on the northern shore of Lake Burley Griffin, near Queen Elizabeth II Island and the National Carillion.
The memorial includes 1200 bronze touchstones that develop a golden patina through physical contact, representing the ongoing risks of police service.
