VPL was formally established on 6th February, 1980 and was originally formed by a number of police members which included our founding President Inspector Bryan Kelly QPM, and founding Secretary Chief Superintendent Peter Ryan AM APM with the support of then Chief Commissioner S.I. (Mick) Miller AO LVO QPM to care for police families who lost a loved one.

Once again, there was certainly no shortage of spectacular vehicles on display, including current and historical Victoria Police vehicles supported by the Victoria Police Historical Society. We were also lucky to have a fly by from the Victoria Police Air Wing!

The Divisional Commander of the greater Ballarat area and Victoria Police Legacy (VPL) Ambassador, Superintendent Frank Sells, was presented with a donation of $500.00 to VPL by the Ballarat Sub-Branch of the Vietnam Veterans Association on Wednesday 10th January.
