The striking and iconic UK Police Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire stands as a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of those from across policing who have given their lives keeping us safe and protecting us from harm.
In addition to the physical memorial, we have developed digital tributes and an educational program to honour the fallen and their legacy, ensuring their stories of service and dedication are preserved and shared for generations to come.
Plans are well underway to develop the world’s first virtual Digital Remembrance Programme, honouring those who have dedicated their lives to policing. The physical memorial at the Arboretum was just the start of the journey.
The Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum is just one element of our vision. We still need your support to fully complete this project.
Without their contributions, we would not be able to honour the bravery and sacrifice of our policing heroes.
The work of the Trust is directed and governed by our Trustees, supported by our Patrons
