A service was held in St Mary's Church, Warwick on September 27 to mark National Police Remembrance Day, with many regional school representatives in attendance. These nationwide ceremonies are to recognise "the sacrifice made by officers who have lost their lives in service to our community is never forgotten". Officers whose death was not a consequence of their duty, are and were also remembered. 

The tradition of National Police Remembrance Day started in 1989, honoured every year since. In 2020 and 2021, the usual marches did not take place in Brisbane due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resuming in 2022 in locations throughout Queensland.
