‘We will honour you’: police tribute to slain officers
It is claimed that the families of the two officers were shot by the most sought -after man on the Australian duty line, and left flowers to a police monument where their names were engraved in history.
The National Police Memorial Day points to one of the most important days of the policing calendar and offers the chance to tribute to those killed.
Nobody knows more than the families of Victoria Police Officers Neal Thompson and Vadim De Waart-Hottart, who was killed while trying to make a search order in a small town of Porpunkah on August 26th.
The leading Constable Thompson, a 38 -year -old Victoria police veteran, was just a week away from retirement.
Hundreds of colleagues are still involved in searching for DEZİ Freeman, who is still accused of expelling the weapons that killed men.
The families of the murdered civil servants participated in the service at the Police Monument on Melbourne St Kilda Road on Monday and put the flowers in which their names were engraved in the Honorary Board.
Their names will be added to the National Police Monument in 2026.
Victoria police commissioner Mike Bush said that no one would forget about the events in Porpunkah, “two of our brave, brave officers have their lives”.
“These tragic losses remind us of uncertainty and I must say that the natural dangers of policing with us.
“Farewell to our friends and colleagues and the police who left us. We honor you and we will always remember you.”
Victoria Prime Minister Jacinta Allen also joined the monument and accepted the increasing dangers faced by the police.
“Today’s officers face the pressure of an online world where increasing extremism, growing conspiracies and anger spread faster than the truth,” he said.

Constable Patrick Whyte died in 1866 on his task line. Unfortunately, none of his living relatives could make the monument.
