The Queensland Police Service (QPS) has actively participated in Anzac Day commemorations across the state, honoring the valiant men and women who served during World War I, including 30 QPS officers who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. On this poignant day of remembrance, QPS highlighted the stories of these brave individuals, such as Patrick James Moynihan who tragically fell at Gallipoli on April 25, 1915, marking the very date we now observe as Anzac Day. Other notable mentions include Constables William Edwin Bishop, John Deevy, George Dewhurst, and Alexander Price, who met their end on the Somme battlefields in France. Acting Police Commissioner Brett Pointing emphasized the importance of Anzac Day as a moment to reflect on the fortitude, resilience, and selflessness displayed by those who have served. He remarked that the day provides an opportunity to not only remember the fallen but to also inspire future generations with the values of courage and commitment. In conjunction with the Anzac Day ceremonies, including dawn services and marches, QPS also paid tribute to the fallen officers in a recent graduation ceremony where wreaths were laid in their honor. The names of these 30 officers are permanently displayed at the Queensland Police Headquarters, ensuring their legacy endures. Throughout the day, various QPS officers continued to participate in wreath-laying ceremonies and parades across Queensland, including a significant tribute paid by Acting Commissioner Pointing at Brisbane’s Anzac Square. The Queensland Police Service remains dedicated to upholding the legacy and values of the Anzacs, ensuring that their courage and sacrifices are never forgotten.
