On September 29, police officers from the Monaro Local Area Command attended the National Police Memorial with families, friends, colleagues and the community, in remembrance of officers killed on duty.

The day including a reading of the Police Ode:

As the sun surely sets, dawn will see it arise

For service, above self, demands its own prize

You have fought the good fight, life's race has been run

and peace, your reward, for eternity begun;

and we that are left, shall never forget.

Rest in peace friend and colleague, for the sun has now set. 

We will remember. We will remember.

Hasten the dawn.

You can see video and photos of the day on the Monaro LAC Facebook page:

Just a reminder that the 2017-18 Bush Fire Danger Period is now in place for most of NSW. A fire permit is required for burning activities during this period.
