Police Arboretum Memorial Trust

The Police Arboretum Memorial Trust was established in 2015 to create the UK Police Memorial, a national tribute honouring the courage and sacrifice of those from the UK’s police service who have dedicated their lives to protecting their communities.

While the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire remains at its heart, the Trust has expanded its mission to progress online commemoration – sharing stories of the fallen, together with an education programme to inform and inspire future generations.
