Blue Ribbon Day is 29 September, which coincides with National Police Remembrance Day.

Blue Ribbon Day is commemorated throughout September and it 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.

We hope you will support our campaign to remember the 174 Victoria Police Officers who have died in the line of duty and say thank you to all Victoria Police officers for their work in serving & protecting our community. Their work can often leave physical and emotional scars, giving thanks and showing your support means so much

Our work is to remember lives by saving others. Building new and improved emergency facilities in Victorian hospitals that are then named in memory of fallen officers. Proceeds from Blue Ribbon Day help to fund these projects named in their honour.

Last week, we were proud to work with our Greater Shepparton and Westgate Blue Ribbon Foundation branches to host Dedication Ceremonies honouring Victoria Police Members who had died in the line of duty.

On Wednesday 24 August, with our Greater Shepparton Blue Ribbon Foundation branch and Goulburn Valley Health we hosted a Police Memorial Dedication Ceremony in Shepparton to honour the life and service of five Victoria Police officers and dedicate a special memorial to all members who have died in the line of duty.

We are looking forward to next Saturday when the Saints and Hawks will play for the Blue Ribbon Cup at Marvel Stadium.

Established in 1999, the Blue Ribbon Cup is played in memory of Victoria Police officers Sergeant Gary Silk, and Senior Constable Rodney Miller who were killed in the line of duty at Moorabbin 16 August 1998.

The Blue Ribbon Cup not only pays tribute to all our police members who have fallen in the line of duty but also acknowledges the work and dedication of those who continue to serve.

Thank you St Kilda Football Club & Hawthorn Football Club and the AFL community for your continued support.

We are excited to share the news that we our holding an online auction of selected Constable T Bears including the highly sought after Edition 1 & 2 Bears.

The Foundation released our very first Constable T Bear back in 2000 and Edition 1 is now especially valued by our collectors as are all the Bears that have sold out. With every new edition the Foundation has reserved a very limited number of Bears for quality and after sales service which we are now releasing for this auction.

Our current collectors have the opportunity to add to their collection or someone could start a new collection. We know that many people will be keen to secure one of these Constable T Bears so we felt that an auction provided the fairest opportunity for all.

On Tuesday 3 May, we were proud to honour the life and service of Constable Edward O’Neill with the dedication of the Oncology Treatment Ward at Wimmera Cancer Centre, Horsham named in his honour. It was a fitting tribute for Constable O’Neill who had served his country with distinction on the First World War battlefields and his state in his role with Victoria Police.

Constable O’Neill joined Victoria Police in December 1920 and sadly died 3 May 1922 from injuries sustained in an accident riding his police horse. He lived a life of serving his community and that service will continue with the new Oncology Treatment Ward facilities.

We thank all the members of the O’Neill family who joined us at the Ceremony and we also thank Acting Assistant Commissioner Deb Robertson who presented the Victoria Police Star to Ward O’Neill the grandson of Constable Edward O’Neill.

Congratulation to our Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham and all their volunteers, sponsors and the local community for their commitment to see this dedication come to life.
