More than a thousand NSW Police officers joined their colleagues from across the country to honour fallen officers during an annual commemorative charity motorbike ride.

The Wall to Wall: Ride for Remembrance is an annual police memorial ride from across Australia to Canberra, which aims to commemorate the service and sacrifice of fallen Australian police, raise much-needed funds in support of fallen officers’ families and promote motorcycle safety.

NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione led the officers from Sydney to the National Police Memorial in Canberra where the NSW contingent will met more than 2000 riders who have travelled from every police jurisdiction across Australia.

“Each year it is certainly our hope to remove a blank scroll from the baton and we are very thankful our NSW scroll will be blank this year,” Commissioner Scipione said. “We will, however, take pause to remember the 252 officers who have lost their lives in service to the community throughout the 153 year history of the NSW Police Force.”
