Wall to Wall Ride For Remembrance

On September 18 this year police from around Australia will ride to the National Police Memorial in Canberra for a special service to honour police who have paid the ultimate price in the line of duty in the inaugural Wall to Wall Ride for Remembrance.
Organised by National Police Memorial Executive, The Police Association of Victoria, New South Wales Police Association and motorcyclists within the police family in Victoria and New South Wales, rides to the service will begin in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne, departing on September 17. The riders will all meet on the outskirts of Canberra on Saturday, September 18 and ride to the memorial together. This ride is for all motorcyclists to participate and remember police officers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. All riders are invited to participate.
The Wall to Wall Ride will remember and honour those police officers who have fallen in the line of duty and promote safe and lawful motorcycling whilst raising awareness and money for Australian Police Legacies.
Monies raised will be donated to Police Legacy organisations in each state.

Metlink Tickets Create Awareness of Police Legacy

Victoria Police Legacy will reach new audiences soon, with Metlink helping to spread the message of legacy to
commuters across Melbourne’s public transport network. Around four million Metcards featuring
information about Victoria Police Legacy will be distributed to those purchasing a ticket to travel on train,
tram and bus. The partnership is the first of its kind between the two organizations and is designed to
create greater awareness in the community of the role of Police Legacy.

History of Victoria

Victoria Police Legacy was founded in 1980. Its purpose then was to provide on-going support for the families of deceased police members. Today with an expanded charter, the same concept and tradition continues.

Our role

Victoria Police Legacy is a charitable organisation that provides a range of services to police families who have suffered the loss of a loved one. (This includes families of police and retired police where there are no dependent children.)
Independent from Victoria Police, it is managed by a Board consisting of serving and retired police. The CEO and staff manage the office and support services.
Funding is mainly provided through generous fortnightly payroll contributions from serving police.
Other funding is acquired through bequests and donations, often from members of the public expressing appreciation for work done by police in the community.
With a plan to ensure its on-going development as a progressive and caring organisation, Victoria Police Legacy is committed to meeting the needs of those for whom it cares.
