Community projects named in their honour
Who we are and what we do
The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation perpetuates the memory of members of the Victoria Police who have died in the line of duty through the support of worthwhile community projects within Victoria. We aim to encourage the public of Victoria to remember the sacrifice of officers who have fallen in the line of duty and to show all serving members of Victoria Police that their work and commitment are valued by a caring community.
Blue Ribbon Day is on 29 September, which coincides with National Police Remembrance Day.
This is a chance for the community to say thank you to those who protect and serve our community and ensure that those who have fallen are never forgotten. The Foundation first launched Blue Ribbon Day in 1999, after the outpouring of community support for Senior Constable Rodney Miller and Sergeant Gary Silk who were tragically killed on 16 August 1998.
Your support can help the Blue Ribbon Foundation continue its work of honouring fallen police members through life-saving medical projects in public hospitals across Victoria.
Make a donation to the 2026 Blue Ribbon Day Appeal and help us continue to remember, honour, and support through our initiatives.
