Police Roll of Honour Trust

The Police Roll of Honour Trust is a charitable organisation registered in England and Wales, as well as Scotland. It was founded in 2000 and is dedicated to recording the names of all British police officers who have died in and on the line of duty. The trust has been granted a Royal Charter, a prestigious honor.

Founding and Objectives

The trust was established with the primary goal of maintaining and updating the UK Police Roll of Honour. This extensive record honors the sacrifice made by police officers across the United Kingdom. The trust works closely with various organisations to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the roll.

Royal Charter

In March 2018, the Police Roll of Honour Trust was granted incorporation by Royal Charter, approved by Queen Elizabeth II. This recognition underscores the trust's importance and commitment to commemorating fallen police officers.

UK Police Roll of Honour

The UK Police Roll of Honour is a comprehensive list that details the service and sacrifice of British police officers. The roll is displayed at the National Police Memorial and lists officers by the date of their death, ensuring that their contributions are never forgotten. Continuous research helps update and expand this list, which currently contains nearly 4,000 names.

Patrons and Support

The trust is supported by prominent patrons within the policing community. Public donations and research contributions are vital to its mission, enabling ongoing updates to the roll of honour.

Memorial Projects

In addition to maintaining the roll of honour, the trust has been involved in memorial projects. Notably, they unveiled a Cyprus Police Memorial in 2014, honoring officers who served during the Cyprus Emergency.

Governance

The trust operates under its Royal Charter, ensuring its commitment to maintain a high standard of governance and transparency in its charitable activities.
