The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation perpetuates the memory of members of the Victoria Police killed in the line of duty through the support of worthwhile community projects within Victoria.
In total, 159 Victoria Police members have
been killed in the line of duty. Of these, 30
have been murdered, which underlines the
dangers police members face on a daily basis.
