The significance of the date 29 September being 'the feast of St. Michael the Archangel, patron saint of police and peacemakers'. The observance of National Police Remembrance Day grants police the opportunity to commemorate their fallen colleagues and ensure their legacies are preserved, enables family members to grieve and honour their loved ones, and act as a reminder to the public of the ultimate price that police might be called upon to pay, as they protect and serve the Australian people.
The Police Remembrance Day postal numismatic cover is highly collectable, featuring a pictorial envelope with postage-paid Australia National Police Memorial logo and a coin from the Royal Australian Mint.
