Important day tomorrow (29 Sept)

Police Remembrance Day Tomorrow

Police officers who have died in the line of duty will be remembered tomorrow
at the annual Australasian and South Pacific Police Remembrance Day.

The service also remembers all members of police, serving and retired, who
have died in the past year.

The Police-chevron embedded Huia feather Remembrance Day Pin was developed by
New Zealand Police and the Police Association to raise awareness in the
hearts and minds of police members and the general public nationwide.

Now lost to us, the Huia bird's tail plumage is something rare and special.
To wear it is considered by Maori to be a great honour. By incorporating the
police chevron into the Huia tail feather, the design of the pin symbolises
the honouring of someone special, now lost to Police.

Among those who will be remembered at this year's ceremony are Senior
Constable Len Snee and Sergeant Don Wilkinson. Sergeant Wilkinson's plaque
was dedicated in November 2008.

Police Remembrance Day falls on September 29, the feast day of the Archangel
Michael, the patron saint of Police.

The service will be held at the Royal New Zealand Police College and starts
at 11am.
