A service to mark National Police Remembrance Day is being held today at Newcastle's Sacred Heart Cathedral.
The day affords police forces within Australasia the opportunity to remember those officers who have lost their lives in the course of their duties.
In the Hunter, officers will be paying tribute to 43-year-old father of two Sergeant Geoffrey Richardson, who died when his patrol car collided with a tree at Allandale while responding to a pursuit in March.
