Current and former officers joined family and community members for a National Police Remembrance Day ceremony inside Bega’s St. John's Anglican Church.
South Coast Police District Chief Inspector Peter Volf, who had recently attended the funeral of a close friend and colleague, spoke of the “sacrifice” made by his “fallen comrades” during his career.
“Today is about recognising the contribution to society by police,” he said.
