Blue Ribbon Day is 29 September, which coincides with National Police Remembrance Day (External link)

Blue Ribbon Day is a chance for the community to say thank you to those who protect and serve our community and ensure that those who have fallen are never forgotten. 

Lives lost are remembered by saving others.

Building new and improved emergency facilities in Victorian hospitals that are then named in memory of fallen officers. Proceeds from Blue Ribbon Day help to fund these projects named in their honour.
