REPRESENTING SCOTLAND George Barnsley, friend and colleague of Detective Sergeant William Ross Hunt from Strathclyde Police who died 5 June 1983 at the age of 56. Whilst attempting to arrest a man for serious assault, Detective Sergeant Hunt was fatally stabbed when members of the suspect’s family attacked him and other officers with weapons. Over the weekend organised tours to The Royal Ulster Constabulary George Cross Garden also took place, providing a major tribute to policing in Ireland. It
marks the service and sacrifice of RUC officers and offers a unique experience unparalleled anywhere in the world. Around 5,000 police officers have died whilst on duty in the past 180 years, yet this sacrifice and exceptional dedication to duty remained largely unrecognised until as late as 2004. The inaugural service was held at St
Paul’s Cathedral on Sunday 3 October 2004. Since then, services have been held all over the United Kingdom to reflect the national contribution and sacrifices made by the police. National Police Memorial Day is held
each year on the nearest Sunday to Saint Michael’s Day, the Patron Saint of Police. Many are unaware that NPMD is a
