Commemorating 80 Years Since the End of the Second World War
The UK Police Memorial has created a special tribute to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, honouring the more than 300 men and women.
Welcome to the Police Memorial
The Police Arboretum Memorial Trust and The Police Remembrance Trust are two leading police memorial charities coming together in unity to establish and maintain a new Police Memorial.
More than an archive – this is a space for education, reflection, tribute, and ceremony – a place where families, colleagues, the public, and future generations can come to understand the service and sacrifice of those who are no longer with us.
It is the only authoritative UK police memorial, established by Royal Charter, with the Patronage of His Majesty The King.

National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire
Standing 30 meters high, this striking tribute to policing symbolises strength, resilience, and sacrifice.
A wildflower meadow surrounds a pathway edged with descriptive text, and the distinctive Sillitoe Tartan - symbolic of policing - leads to the Memorial’s tall doorway supporting a brass screen. This represents the threshold to the dangerous places that officers go towards, from which some never return.
