Secretary pays tribute to police officers killed on duty

Jane Hutt, social justice secretary, has paid tribute to fallen police officers from Wales and across the UK.

This was a part of National Police Memorial Day (29 September), an important annual event held to remember the thousands of officers throughout the UK who have lost their lives.

The Welsh government’s Cathays Park building will be lit in blue to mark National Police Memorial Day.

Hutt attended a service in Glasgow and said: "Each day police officers in Wales, and throughout the UK, demonstrate their dedication to duty and courage to protect us all.

"Every year since 2004, National Police Memorial Day has been a day to recall the sacrifices made by officers, across the generations, in the line of duty.

"Today, as with previous years, provides an important opportunity to pay tribute to them and show our commitment that they will never be forgotten."
