Victoria Police Legacy is a charitable not-for-profit organisation that provides a range of services to police families throughout Victoria who have suffered the loss of a loved one.
Should a serving or retired police officer or protective services officer, or their spouse/partner pass away, Victoria Police Legacy is there to provide ongoing support to the spouse/partner and children.
Victoria Police Legacy strives to ensure that no spouse/partner or child of a deceased police officer or protective services officer feels forgotten or in need of support.
To achieve this, Victoria Police Legacy constantly asks these questions:
• If the police officer or protective services officer was alive what would they want for their family?
• What opportunities would they have tried to give their children?
• How can Victoria Police Legacy assist this family so they remain a part of the police family?
• How can Victoria Police Legacy enhance the lives of this family?
Every year more members of the police family become part of the Police Legacy family. We are here to support them, not just for the short term, but forever.
Members of the police family who have lost a partner who is a serving or retired sworn member of Victoria Police, Protective Services Officer or recruit in training
Serving or retired sworn members and Protective Services Officer who have lost partners
Resigned members, who fall into one of the above categories, if they have served more than 20 years with Victoria Police
Members who have lost a child aged 21 years or younger
Parents of serving members of Victoria Police and Protective Services Officers where that member was not in a relationship at the time of their death
Members, their partners and families and police legatees experiencing grief and hardship caused by imminent or actual death or permanent (prolonged) disability
