"These brave officers were selfless in duty, paying the ultimate price to protect all of us.

This memorial will provide an enduring reminder to their sacrifice and that of their families, friends and colleagues who will forever feel their loss.

We must never forget that they were the ones who courageously rushed towards the danger while every instinct is to run away."

Sajid Javid, Former Home Secretary

"I am delighted to lend my support to this campaign to raise funds to honour the memory of the hundreds of fallen officers by erecting a UK Police Memorial in the National Memorial Arboretum."

HRH Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge

"It is an immense privilege to be involved with a charity that is determined to see a proper Memorial built to reflect the immense sacrifice paid by our colleagues.

"The Police Family deserves a place of reflection for those who put the safety of citizens above any personal consideration every single day."

Sir Hugh Orde OBE QPM, Chair of The Police Arboretum Memorial Trust

"People always remember the perpetrators. Always. But I think what we should be doing is remembering the victims and remembering those left behind as well;

"it’s more important to me as Nicola’s Dad, but it’s also important to the members of the public as well to remember the sort of sacrifice police officers have paid."

Bryn Hughes – Father of PC Nicola Hughes

"This great service is formed of people who will protect us and keep us safe, whose bravery and commitment mean they will run towards danger, and who are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

"The national memorial will serve as a permanent honour to their memory and ensure that what they have given up for us is always remembered.”

Chief Superintendent Gavin Thomas, Former President, Police Superintendents’ Association of England and Wales

"When a Police Officer or Police staff member loses their live in a tragic incident it is a matter of public record and media interest often for a relatively short period of time. The cost of such loss is immeasurable, far more personal and lifelong.”

"To be able to offer practical, appropriate emotional and committed ongoing support is one way in which we can truly stand alongside those whose loved ones pay the ultimate price in maintaining our peace and security.”

Canon David Wilbraham, National Police Chaplain
