THE NATIONAL Police Memorial Day is set to take place at Coventry Cathedral next year.
The 22nd year of the event will take place on September 28, the closest Sunday to St Michael’s Day.
Although registration for the event is not yet open, survivors of West Midlands Police are encouraged to contact the Police Federation office by email ahead of the event.
Rich Cooke, chair of West Midlands Police Federation said: “It’s an honour to hear that next year’s National Police Memorial Day will be taking place on our doorstep.
“No doubt, it’s a big responsibility, but I am confident that teams across the region will come together to do the service justice.
“Coventry Cathedral is a beautiful setting and will serve as the perfect location for us to remember those who have died in the line of duty.
“I look forward to welcoming colleagues from across the four nations, as well as those from overseas and, of course, the families of fallen officers, to Coventry in 2025.”
Rich added it is an opportunity for people to reach out to families and loved ones of local officers.
“The Federation will be actively trying to engage any known survivors over the coming months ahead of next year’s event.
“We would really like to do something special to remember our fallen colleagues from the West Midlands Police family.”
