The Police Memorial Trust

The UK Police Memorial has allowed us, with the support of all our partners, to create a fitting tribute to all those from our police service who have laid down their lives. Our Memorial is now, together with the National Armed Forces Memorial, the most visited memorial at the Arboretum. With almost 400,000 visitors annually you can start to appreciate the impact that such a wonderful tribute is having on the public consciousness.

Plans are now underway for a world first digital remembrance programme that pays tribute to the 4,500 police officers and staff who dedicated their lives to policing across the UK.

The digital remembrance programme has been informed by an extensive national consultation process, including an in-depth survey which represented the views of over 200,000 people from across the police service, families of the fallen, the wider policing family, including police charities and staff associations, policing museums, archivists, and the public.

The Digital Remembrance Programme  will tell the personal stories of those behind the badge who have dedicated their lives to policing and who have been killed whilst policing our communities, keeping us safe and defending our freedoms. Developed in partnership with the Police Roll of Honour Trust (PRHT), the innovative digital remembrance programme, will extend the reach of the UK Police Memorial beyond those who visit the site at the Arboretum, to an international audience.
