Chief Constable Jon Boutcher, with Detective Chief Superintendent Anthony McNally, (Superintendents’ Association of Northern Ireland), Mukesh Sharma, (Chair NI Policing Board) and Liam Kelly, (Chair Police Federation for NI) attending National Police Memorial event in Glasgow.
Police Service of Northern Ireland Chief Constable Jon Boutcher attended the National Police Memorial Day in Glasgow and met with a number of widows and families of members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Royal Ulster Constabulary George Cross who had died or been killed in service.
Mr Boutcher said:
“It was a huge privilege to have the opportunity to meet with police families from not only Northern Ireland but from across the United Kingdom, to remember their loved ones, who have selflessly given their lives in the course of their duties.
“Today’s service was incredibly moving and humbling and serves as a reminder to us all that in serving and protecting our communities, these officers sometimes pay the ultimate sacrifice.
“It is right and fitting that we take a moment each year to reflect and remember the loss of those who went before us and others who continue to put the safety of others above their own.
“Their sacrifice, commitment and dedication to their duties must never be forgotten.”
