ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


Former Metropolitan and Lancashire police officer Anthony Rae has spent over 30 years researching British police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty to compile the National Police Officers Roll of Honour. Information and images have been drawn from numerous sources - public and police records, news reports and journals, individuals and families of fallen officers. This could not have been done without the assistance of very many people and while there are too many to name here we thank all our contributors for their assistance in helping us ensure our fallen officers are properly remembered.
